The Great Pheromone Myth
A very thorough review of the literature on presumed mammalian pheromones.
—PsycCRITIQUES Doty shakes up the field by challenging the sloppy research that some pheromone claims are based on.
—Australian Science In this book, he brings together a wide-ranging and extensive literature to conclusively make his point. Along the way, he presents a fascinating tour of the diversity and complexity of chemical communication in mammals.
—Choice More than a survey of pheromones, this considers the entire perspective of chemical effects on behavior and is a pick for any college-level health collection.
—Midwest Book Review If this book were just a critique of mammalian pheromones, it would be a valuable contribution. It, however, goes further showing us how the pheromone concept has blinded us to the complex and multimodal character of olfactory phenomena and perception.
—American Journal of Human Biology The Great Pheromone Myth is a lovely mural of important developmental questions and phenomena.The book is also an excellent guide to a field of inquiry, a conceptual framework, and an admirable product of scholarship. It offers much to professionals and advanced students in wide range of sensory, behavioral, ecological, physiological, and even clinical fields.
—Developmental Psychobiology This is an important book as it challenges simplistic thinking by forensically and systematically dissecting studies that purport to adduce the evidence for mammalian pheromones . . . The Great Pheromone Myth will undoubtedly engender considerable debate, a debate that is long overdue.
—The Biologist When you read this book you are very likely to experience a shift from frustration to enlightenment. Far from thwarting your path to knowledge, Doty will remove some much neglected clutter and smooth the way to new understanding.
—ChemoSense The research of advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers will be improved if these workers carefully read the author''s critiques of experimental design and research protocols.
—Ann Eileen Miller Baker, Quarterly Review of Biology It is a must-have reference for biologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and readers interested in animal behavior, ecology, and evolution.
