Human Evolutionary Perspectives --$tSelected Readings --$tIndex 330 $aScientific discoveries about the animal kingdom fuel ideological battles on many fronts, especially battles about sex and gender. We now know that male marmosets help take care of their offspring. Is this heartening news for today's stay-at-home dads? Recent studies show that many female birds once thought to be monogamous actually have chicks that are fathered outside the primary breeding pair. Does this information spell doom for traditional marriages? And bonobo apes take part in female-female sexual encounters. Does this mean that human homosexuality is natural? This highly provocative book clearly shows that these are the wrong kinds of questions to ask about animal behavior. Marlene Zuk, a respected biologist and a feminist, gives an eye-opening tour of some of the latest developments in our knowledge of animal sexuality and evolutionary biology. Sexual Selections exposes the anthropomorphism and gender politics that have colored our understanding of the natural world and shows how feminism can help move us away from our ideological biases. As she tells many amazing stories about animal behavior--whether of birds and apes or of rats and cockroaches--Zuk takes us to the places where our ideas about nature, gender, and culture collide. Writing in an engaging, conversational style, she discusses such politically charged topics as motherhood, the genetic basis for adultery, the female orgasm, menstruation, and homosexuality. She shows how feminism can give us the tools to examine sensitive issues such as these and to enhance our understanding of the natural world if we avoid using research to champion a feminist agenda and avoid using animals as ideological weapons. Zuk passionately asks us to learn to see the animal world on its own terms, with its splendid array of diversity and variation. This knowledge will give us a better understanding of animals and can ultimately change our assumptions about what is natural, normal, and even possible. 606 $aSexual behavior in animals 606 $aAnimal behavior 610 $aadultery. 610 $aanimal behavior. 610 $aanimal kingdom. 610 $aanimal sexuality. 610 $abiologists. 610 $acontroversial topics. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aevolutionary biology. 610 $afeminism. 610 $afeminist agenda. 610 $agender and culture. 610 $agender politics. 610 $ahuman sexuality. 610 $aideological biases. 610 $aideological. 610 $alessons from animals. 610 $amenstruation. 610 $amotherhood. 610 $anatural sciences. 610 $anatural world. 610 $aoffspring care. 610 $ascientific discoveries. 610 $ascientific studies. 610 $asex and gender. 610 $asex. 610 $asexual encounters. 610 $asexual partners. 610 $athought provoking. 615 0$aSexual behavior in animals. 615 0$aAnimal behavior. 676 $a591.56/2 686 $aCR 6000$2rvk 700 $aZuk$b Marlene$f1956-$01517231 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782923803321 996 $aSexual selections$93754158 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05685oam 22011414 450 001 9910953421003321 005 20250426110118.0 010 $a9781475507065 010 $a1475507062 010 $a9781475587753 010 $a1475587759 035 $a(CKB)2550000000107094 035 $a(EBL)1606760 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000943338 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11593673 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000943338 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10977575 035 $a(PQKB)10068469 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1606760 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1606760 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10574687 035 $a(OCoLC)870597606 035 $a(IMF)1BFAEE2012001 035 $a(IMF)1BFAEA2012001 035 $a1BFAEA2012001 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000107094 100 $a20020129d2012 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBurkina Faso : $eStrategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development 2011?2015 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cInternational Monetary Fund,$d2012. 215 $a1 online resource (101 p.) 225 1 $aIMF Staff Country Reports 300 $a"May 2012." 311 08$a9781475535273 311 08$a1475535279 311 08$a9781475503951 311 08$a1475503954 327 $aCover; Contents; Acronyms and Abbreviations; Foreword; Introduction; I.Overview of a Decade of Economic and Social Development 2000-2009; I.1 Economic Performance; List of Tables; Table 1: Evolution of the Share of Social Sector in Public Expenditure from Domestic Resources; Table 2: Trend of Official Development Assistance During 2006-2010; I.2 Social Situation; Table 3: Evolution of Poverty Indicators According to the Four Surveys; Table 4: Evolution of the Incidence of Poverty According to Area of Residence; List of Figures; Figure 1: Incidence of Poverty by Region (in percent) 327 $aFigure 2: Rate of Access to Electricity by Region in 2009 (in percent of population)Table 5: Breakdown of Population, According to Construction Material of Main Building; Figure 3: Disposal of Household Garbage in 2009 and Lavatories used by Households in 2009; Figure 4: Rate of Access to Drinking Water by Region in 2009; I.3 State of the Environment; I.4 State of Governance; I.5 Regional and Local Development; I.6 Key Lessons; II.
