Recenzii
...for a book riddled with rancid and revolting things, Don't Look, Don't Touch is suprisingly difficult to put down.
Thanks to the recent development of evolutionary psychology, scientists understand disgust, its function, and its mechanisms as never before. Moving with ease across disciplines and from theory to arresting concrete examples, Valerie Curtis shares in this highly readable book the findings and questions of this new science of disgust, to which she has been a main contributor.
Gross! Yuck! Ew! The psychology of disgust has turned into one of the hottest topics in the human sciences. It's tied in surprising ways to health, nutrition, sex, evolution, even religion and morality. Valerie Curtis, one of the deepest thinkers and cleverest researchers on this part of human nature, turns revulsion into fascination.
