Reviews

A literary embrace of parenthood in the wild kingdom. A study brimming with endlessly fascinating fodder for animal lovers. There's much to amaze readers. Popular science readers with an interest in evolutionary biology will enjoy this book. As the second in the author's 'Wild Series, ' it will no doubt lead them to wonder: What's next?

Entertaining. Racy in tone, and full of the sort of lurid detail with which you can reduce a dinner party to silence, this is a lively read with a heavyweight scientific bibliography. -- Daily Mail (on Wild Sex ) As Bondar proves in Wild Sex, the world of animal mating can be much more complicated than trying to figure out if what you swiped right on is a catfish. Wild Sex looks at the animal laws of attraction, physical act of sex and reproduction patterns of several animal species, including the obstacles some animals must overcome to perpetuate their species: The male redback spider, for example, is consumed by its cannibalistic female partner after copulation. And you thought OkCupid was rough. -- Chicago Tribune (on Wild Sex ) Bondar's witty writing style packs a lot of fascinating information into easily digestible essays that are extremely thought-provoking. -- Booklist, starred review (on Wild Sex )
