Sex, Drugs And Rock ‘N’ Roll

A tongue-in-cheek, illuminating investigation into hedonistic pursuits, the bookSex, Drugs and Rock ’N’ Roll skilfully argues that these are not just base pursuits, but scientifically significant universal characteristics of the human condition.

Author Zoe Cormier, part of science-based outreach organization Guerilla Science, has written a funny, fascinating, and absorbing study exploring the history of sexual gratification, the enjoyment of music and the undeniable pleasure humans derive from chemical substances.

Zoe compellingly argues that these are not only some of the oldest human drives, but they have also led to ground-breaking discoveries in terms of the biology of our species, such as LSD facilitating the understanding of how to unravel the language of human DNA.

From serious subjects, such as female genital mutilation, to a light-hearted look at the kind of music monkeys like, this is an interesting and entertaining read which will make you look at the human race in a completely different light.
