Editorial Reviews

Nine contributions by authors from a variety of fields explore the phenomenon of one sex behaving like the other, commonly observed in mammals, including humans. They draw together information on the generation of heterotypical gender-specific behavior, much of it sexual, and on certain forms of aggression, drawn both from animal experimentation and from human clinical studies. Most of the attention is spent on physiological mechanisms and experiences. The thin, spidery type is not easy to read. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
