{"product_id":"bitch-lucy-cooke-9781541674899","title":"Bitch: On the Female of the Species","description":"\u003cb\u003eA fierce, funny, and revolutionary look at the queens of the animal kingdom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e Studying zoology made Lucy Cooke feel like a sad freak. Not because she loved spiders or would root around in animal feces: all her friends shared the same curious kinks. The problem was her sex. Being female meant she was, by nature, a loser. \u003c\/p\u003e Since Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been convinced that the males of the animal kingdom are the interesting ones--dominating and promiscuous, while females are dull, passive, and devoted. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eBitch\u003c\/i\u003e, Cooke tells a new story. Whether investigating same-sex female albatross couples that raise chicks, murderous mother meerkats, or the titanic battle of the sexes waged by ducks, Cooke shows us a new evolutionary biology, one where females can be as dynamic as any male. This isn't your grandfather's evolutionary biology. It's more inclusive, truer to life, and, simply, more fun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Cooke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541674898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541674899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.25w x 1.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2022 pg. 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2022 pg. 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2022","brand":"Lucy Cooke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051244056831,"sku":"9781541674899","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ecc628a-04fd-42cb-8eed-bc332a3f45be.jpg?v=1685011937","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bitch-lucy-cooke-9781541674899","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
