Utterly readable! Utterly fascinating! What was the publisher thinking giving this terrific book such a horrid title??!! Forgive them their gaff by getting your hands on this book. If you are a person who has never been life-threateningly hungry,if you are a person who has several security nets to your lifestyle, then this book demystifies the behaviors of people who live outside of your environmental pressures. Your compassion for the hard decisions men and women make and have always made will be enlarged. If you go into this book naive and sheltered about what really makes the work tick, you will not be when you come out the other side. The truly amazing thing is how well written and approachable the topic is in the hands of the authors. It is well researched and scholarly. This book is way up near the top of the list of 'most important books I have ever read'. This book is not only for science types,as the title would indicate, it is for everybody.
