The Science of Kissing finally arrived on my doorstep last week. After years of research and writing, to hold the finished book in my hand is a very surreal experience.
Even though the official publication date is January 5th, I’ve just learned that Amazon is already shipping copies… early enough to arrive by Christmas and New Years Eve! Here’s a glimpse at Chapter titles:
Part One: The Hunt For Kissing’s Origins
1. First Contact
2. Jungle Fever
3. Kiss My Past
4. Cultural Exchange
Part Two: Kissing in the Body
5. The Anatomy of a Kiss
6. Women Are from Venus, Men Are Easy
7. Scent of a Man
8. Close Encounters
9. There Are Such Things as Cooties
Part Three: Great Expectations
10. This Is Your Brain on Kissing
11. The Open Lab
12: The Future of Kissing
13: The Right Chemistry

I bought a copy of the new January issue of Discover, and saw the inside back page which covers your book.
Also, congratulations for the Bridge the Gap conference you moderated in Washington, D.C. covered on pages 88 and 89. Very impressive.
