"Well-sourced and often witty, Don't Look delves into the science behind taboos and turned-up noses in occasionally stomach-churning but fascinating detail."
(Discover)“Gross! Yuck! Ew! The psychology of disgust has turned into one of the hottest topics in the human sciences. It’s tied in surprising ways to health, nutrition, sex, evolution, even religion and morality. Valerie Curtis, one of the deepest thinkers and cleverest researchers on this part of human nature, turns revulsion into fascination.”
(Steven Pinker author of How the Mind Works and The Better Angels of Our Nature)“Thanks to the recent development of evolutionary psychology, scientists understand disgust, its function, and its mechanisms as never before. Moving with ease across disciplines and from theory to arresting concrete examples, Valerie Curtis shares in this highly readable book the findings and questions this new science of disgust, to which she has been a main contributor.”
(Dan Sperber French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, author of Relevance and Mea) “An entertaining and informative book. The writing is clear and engaging. . . . Valerie Curtis’s extensive professional experience in the world of hygiene and disease prevention give a nice personal touch throughout, as she has at hand both grabby examples and anecdotes, as well as compelling public health reasons for why we ought to attend to disgust.”
(Daniel M. T. Fessler University of California, Los Angeles) About the Author
