Few of us know much about the biology of sex determination, but what could be more interesting than to discover how we are shaped into males and females? In this book, Elof Carlson tells the incredible story of the difficult quest to understand how the body forms girls and boys. Carlson's history takes us from antiquity to the present day to detail how each component of human reproduction and sexuality was identified and studied....

Wildly out of date
Revisado: 02-12-20
This book is really well read, and passably well written if it were released in the 90s, but it really is out of date on lots of issues. This could be because the author was very old and not involved in sociology when it was written. It neglects to mention many issues (non-binary identities, even in other cultures), and is outright incorrect on others (the existence of asexuality has been known since Kinsey, but is not mentioned).
In short, I’ll read it again, but it should be a starting point, not an endpoint.

Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near misses, and mathematical mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman Empire, and an Olympic team, Matt Parker uncovers the bizarre ways math trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Getting it wrong has never been more fun.

A Great Audio Sequel to Things to Make and Do
Revisado: 01-29-20
A great way to pass the time of being an overworked, underpaid PhD student. Would recommend if you feel like no one cares what you do. Vengeance is close at hand.

Spectacular fossil finds make today's headlines; new technology unlocks secrets of skeletons unearthed 100 years ago. Still, evolution is often poorly represented by the media and misunderstood by the public. A potent antidote to pseudoscience, Written in Stone is an engrossing history of evolutionary discovery for anyone who has marveled at the variety and richness of life.

Narrator mispronounces a lot of words
Revisado: 04-18-19
He also reads fairly flatly. If it doesn’t bother you that he obviously didn’t Google any of the words beforehand, then you’ll probably love it.
