Features: Science and love may seem like an unlikely pair. Science is cold, objective, and logically inevitable, while love is warm, sweet, and mysterious. Perhaps for this very reason, over the centuries, scientists have left the theme of love to poets and philosophers. But in recent decades, people have dedicated themselves to applying natural sciences such as psychology and neurochemistry to understand human attraction, romantic love, and the success or failure of marriage. This book aims to guide ordinary readers through the scientific research in this field and introduce some of the most exciting discoveries. We hope people will find it not only interesting but also helpful in understanding their own emotions and relationships.
