Illicit Monogamy focuses on the polygamous community Angel Park, giving readers a real feel for the society. Jankowiak is superb at treating his subjects with fairness, so that we don't care about who is 'best,' but rather what universal factors shape people's responses. This is a wonderful book-I'd be proud to have written it. -- Elaine Hatfield, author of <i>What's Next in Love and Sex: Psychological and Cultural Perspectives</i>
