Bitch

This book is probably a really good one to hand to anyone who likes clever prose and is interested in learning about actual animals (and not, as exists in the most commonly referenced texts on evolution, fucking hypothetical seaweed). There are tons of examples that discuss the concepts within the book, which really help to give a mental image to what's happening. This is something that I appreciate, even in pop science texts.

I also think it's good for any of the people others know who are interested in the topic but are sitting on the fence about gender and sexuality (like someone who still thinks men/women and their related roles are the only ones in the world but is at least open to learning some new facts about their world that could, one hopes, shift their gears a bit).
