Features: Are women really better than men, and are men really stronger than women? No other life area generates as many differing opinions as the topic of men and women. No other field is as intricately connected with us. From driving and sex to emotional relationships and careers and health, authors Karin Herzog and Kristina Wolfflum combat stubborn prejudices, misunderstandings, and half-knowledge about gender behavior with fascinating and eye-opening facts composed of data, behavioral research, and surveys. Women have no sense of direction, men are unfaithful! These are things we all know—right? Or exactly the opposite? If that’s the case—why? Karin Herzog and Kristina Wolfflum explore the issues that men and women constantly argue about every day: sex, emotional relationships, driving, finances, and more. For the various topics that are often misunderstood, such as behavior, household chores, careers, sports, politics, and health, the authors help us see the truth. Can mothers really not achieve success? Are today’s fathers more concerned about the next generation than their predecessors? Are men really stronger than women? Do foolish women live longer? This fun encyclopedia correctly introduces us to the knowledge about men and women. Behavioral research, sociological research, new developments in genetic research and biology, as well as public opinion polls and data statistics, form the foundation of this book. If you want to participate in serious debates about women and men, you can’t miss this engaging and informative encyclopedia.
