Book excerpt: "For more than 50 years, researchers ... have identified pheromones as the triggers for a wide range of mammalian behaviors and endocrine responses. In this book, [author] rejects this idea and states bluntly that, in contrast to insects, mammals do not have pheromones. ... [book title] directly challenges ideas about the role chemicals play in mammalian behavior and reproductive processes."--Book jacket.
