Customer Reviews
The Moral Animal
Interesting book on the influence of evolutionary psychology on behavior. It's hard science written for the masses.
Complicated sentences for no reason
What can be written in simple English, the author takes it up a notch and writes in his “highly intellectual sentences” with 1 or 2 uncommon vocabulary words thrown into it, like why? I get it your smart!
