If you only ever buy one book on
biology and human behaviour, you could do a lot worse than Robert M.
Sapolsky’s Junk Food Monkeys. Witty, intelligent and above all hugely
entertaining, Sapolsky’s eclectic collection of essays gently probes the human
condition, blending personal anecdotes, science and social history into an
elegantly written whole. Published in paperback by Hodder Headline, £9.99,
ISBN 0747276765.
