A Last Look at the “Battle of the Sexes” The course readings have been an insightful and thought-provoking look into evolutionary psychology and the biological differences between the sexes – and the extent to which some of those differences are nothing but social constructs. Evolutionary psychology and genetics are both fascinating and in this respect I found Adam’s Curse: A Future Without Men by Bryan Sykes and The Moral Animal by Robert Wright the most influential and thought-provoking. The illusionary

Suleiman’s greatest victory may have been the Battle of Mohacs but, it certainly was not his last battle during his reign.

In Nicholas Lemann’s narrative, Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War, the Reconstruction era in the south is portrayed in a different perspective.
