Sperm Wars: Infidelity, Sexual Conflict, and Other Bedroom Battles
by Robin BakerThis classic work on the rules of sex -- updated for a new generation -- is still as provocative as the day it was published, providing simple explanations for any and all questions about what happens in the bedroom.Sex isn't as complicated as we make it. In Sperm Wars, evolutionary biologist Robin Baker argues that every question about human sexuality can be explained by one simple thing: sperm warfare. In the interest of promoting competition between sperm to fertilize the same egg, evolution has built men to conquer and monopolize women while women are built to seek the best genetic input on offer from potential sexual partners.Baker reveals, through a series of provocative fictional scene, the far-reaching implications of sperm competition. 10% of children are not fathered by their "fathers;" over 99% of a man's sperm exists simply to fight off all other men's sperm; and a woman is far more likely to conceive through a casual fling than through sex with her regular partner.From infidelity, to homosexuality, to the female orgasm, Sperm Wars turns on every light in the bedroom. Now with new material reflecting the latest research on sperm warfare, this milestone of popular science will still surprise, entertain, and even shock.

Spice Box
by Grace Livingston Hill[From the front dust jacket flap:] For twenty-seven years, Martha Spicer's life had followed the same dreary, predictable pattern. By day she was employed as the reliable buyer for women's lingerie in a large department store where she was derogatorily referred to as "Spice Box." Every evening she returned to a lonely room in a third-rate boarding house. However, Martha's life changed rapidly when she inherited the home of the aunt and uncle she had visited dutifully twice a year. Much of the change was due to the influence of the boisterous yet friendly boy next door, Ronald MacFarland. Although at first Martha looked upon him as a "hoodlum," his infectious grin and unselfish deeds soon won her heart. With the aid of his creativity and hard work, Martha transformed the dark and dreary house into a bright, cozy, and comfortable home. Martha's personality also transformed as she poured out her pent-up love, happiness, and generosity upon neighbors, co-workers, and even needy people she didn't know. Therefore, when Ronald rescued a homeless, tired, and starving young woman who had fainted from hunger and illness, he knew who would be willing to nurse her back to health. Sure enough, as soon as Martha Spicer laid eyes on the sickly yet beautiful girl, her heart and help went out to her. But she was alarmed by the stranger's condition. Was it too late to save her? Martha was puzzled, too. Who was this fragile, delicate young lady? What had driven her to flee her home and family?" You'll find many more books by Grace Livingston Hill in the Bookshare collection including Exit Betty with many more to come.
