Physics Book

The authors of this book present an overview of the most significant research on various forms of intimate relationships, including singlehood, non-marital cohabitation, gay and lesbian relationships, extramarital relationships and communal living. The authors focus mainly on empirical findings from sociology and social psychology but also include historical and ethnographic material to illustrate that variant lifestyles are not as new as is often assumed. Review questions, exercises, and a lengthy bibliography make this book an excellent teaching tool for undergraduate and beginning graduate courses.
