THE SCIENCE OF LOVE AND BETRAYAL

Book ID/图书代码： 04560011B44253

English Summary/英文概要： Falling in love is one of the strangest things we can do – and one of the things that makes us uniquely human. But what happens to our brains when our eyes meet across a crowded room? Why do we kiss each other, forget our friends, seek a „good sense of humour‟ in Lonely Hearts adverts and try (and fail) to be monogamous? How are our romantic relationships different from our relationships with friends, family or even God? Can science help us, or are we better off turning back to the poet

Basing his arguments on new and experimental scientific research, Robin Dunbar explores the psychology and ethology of romantic love and how our evolutionary programming still affects our behaviour. Fascinating, illuminating and witty, The Science of Love and Betrayal is essential reading for anyone who‟s ever wondered why we fall in love and what on earth is going on when we do.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 坠入爱河是我们能做的最奇怪的一件事，也是能使我们变得独一无二的事之一。但是当我们在拥挤的房间中四目相对的时候，我们的大脑中发生了什么呢？我们为什么会互相亲吻，忘记了我们的朋友？我们之间的爱情关系和朋友关系，甚至和上帝的关系有什么不同呢？科学可以帮助我们吗？还是我们最好变成诗人吧？

根据他科学实验和研究的新论点，Robin Dunbar探索了浪漫爱情的心理学和行为学，以及我们的进化过程如何还在影响我们的行为。《恋爱和背叛科学》十分引人入胜，清晰明朗且奇特明智，对每一个曾经有“为什么我们会坠入爱河以及当时到底发生了什么？”的人们都是十分必要的。(XAT)
