具体描述
Helen Fisher's courageous investigations of romantic love -- its evolution, its biochemical foundations and its vital importance to human society -- are informing and transforming the way we understand ourselves. Fisher describes love as a universal human drive (stronger than the sex drive; stronger than thirst or hunger; stronger perhaps than the will to live), and her many areas of inquiry shed light on timeless human mysteries, like why we choose one partner over another.
Almost unique among scientists, Fisher explores the science of love without losing a sense of romance: Her work frequently invokes poetry, literature and art -- along with scientific findings -- helping us appreciate our love affair with love itself. In her research, and in books such as Anatomy of Love and 2004's Why We Love, Fisher looks at questions with real impact on modern life. Her latest research raises serious concerns about the widespread, long-term use of antidepressants, which may undermine our natural process of attachment by tampering with hormone levels in the brain.
"In hands as skilled and sensitive as Fisher's, scientific analysis of love only adds to its magic."
Scientific American

评分以科学/生物学的角度来阐述人类世界永恒的主题 --- 爱（两性之间的爱） 虽然听上去，很冰冷，一点都不浪漫； 但是，当你轻松地去读时，你会发现真的很好玩。 人类的爱分成三个阶段：lust, romatic love & attachment，而这一切的process都是由我们的大脑里的化学物质所导致...
评分现在读到第四章~~爱之网：情欲、浪漫和依附。以后读完可能会更新~~ 读书要先看封面，读前记看名家怎么推荐。《情种起源》这个书名明显模仿达尔文的《物种起源》嘛~~这噱头有点大；再来看看出版社~~湖南科学技术出版社，我去~~中文版的《时间简史》《果壳里的世界》就是这个出...
评分费舍尔干了件很煞风景的事情，偏要把爱情这么浪漫的东西，试图用生物学去探寻其运作原理，把本该浪漫美妙的情爱之美转换为枯燥冰冷的工程机器。然而人类有别于其他物种的最大特征，就是在动物吸引与繁殖生存的本能之外，消耗在情爱上的惊人热情。首先要相信动物也是有爱情的，...
评分学化学的人，不太喜欢多巴胺。 因为知道这个化合物的一瞬间，好多美好的泡泡就“噗噗”破掉了。 那些春和景明中的回眸一瞥，夏日荷塘边的临水照花，秋风萧瑟时的经年之约，冬雪皑皑里的一个拥抱……那些沧海桑田不变的感情——都变成了一堆化学物质在蹦来蹦去，此消彼长。 人们...

评分没看太懂，有种感觉Fisher企图用比较客观的角度来写love，所以她列举很多实验和调查。但是人文类的实验影响因子太多了，不是很有说服力，nice try...
