US: Villard Books, 1991. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.The spine remains undamaged. In LOVE CYCLES, Dr. Winnifred Cutler tells how and why our love lives wax and wane with biological regularity. She claims that by understanding these "love cycles", we can take control of the hormonal rhythms to enhance sensuality, inhibit the aging process, ward off PMS, increase the probability of a successful pregnancy, and encourage quality of life. Her substantial research is heavily cited and illustrated clearly with graphs and supporting references. Readers will why monogamy and restraint make biologic sense, how hormones are affected by our sexual behavior, and how both men and women can take control of their fertility. Dr. Cutler presents her controversial discoveries in the fields of human sexual behavior, reproductive physiology, and cosmic influences of reproduction. LOVE CYCLES also explains her groundbreaking 1986 discovery of human pheromones in scientific detail. This remarkable book is a unique blend of science, philosophy, and common sense. This is a serious scientific work with profound practical application. In fact, LOVE CYCLES is very much about the scientific process -- how a scientist follows a hunch, designs a study, and experiences the triumph of discovery. Winnifred Cutler's analysis of her data is visionary and inspiring.
