{"product_id":"bitch-lucy-cooke-9781541674912","title":"Bitch: On the Female of the Species","description":"\u003cb\u003eA \"playful, enlightening,\" and \"effervescent exposé\" (\u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e) on the queens of the animal kingdom \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\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 154167491X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541674912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 5.28w x 0.94d","brand":"Lucy Cooke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130980659455,"sku":"9781541674912","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_183df7eb-1847-4276-80c5-fe21528b3ea6.jpg?v=1687472342","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bitch-lucy-cooke-9781541674912","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
