Trade Review
Readable, surprising and provocative * The Times *
I really enjoyed The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris. It was published in 1967 and is often a very amusing zoological perspective on human beings. The chapter on sex is hilarious -- KT Tunstall * Independent *
Stimulating -- Arthur Koestler
Thought-provoking...Morris has introduced some novel and challenging ideas * Natural History *
Fascinating * Sunday Times *
