Sex - just what is it all about? Don't other species just get on with it? What are the conflicts and jealousy, pain and disappointments, really all about? The 2010 book SEX AT DAWN tells us that this modern misery is due to our belief in a false evolutionary story about human pair-bonding and nuclear family units. Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jeth� claim that their evidence shows that before 10,000 years ago sexual constraints did not exist, paternity was not an issue, and men and women engaged in fairly free and casual bonobo-like sexual activity. Our ancestors, they argue, not only shared food, they shared sex.Are they right?Using predominantly the same sources, SEX AT DUSK takes another look at that evidence, fills in many gaps, makes many corrections, and reveals something far less candy-coated. Bringing together evolutionary biology, primatology, anthropology, and human sexuality, SEX AT DUSK shows that, rather than revealing important facts about our sexual evolution, Sex at Dawn shrouds it in a fog of misinformation and faulty logic that can only lead us further into the dark.

This book is a journey within myself to uncover the wondrous being that I am to be, a colliding of dark versus light, dawn versus dusk, day versus night. Hmm... You may be wondering why this is important. Why is it necessary, and how is it even possible? I was formed in a state of darkness, but within nine months I made my way to the light. I came into this earth as an untouched shape of energy, pure and encased with love. Over a period of time, the layers of the world encased me and added weight to a weightless spirit. . . . I began my search for who I am without the labels and the stereotypes. The world dictated who I was supposed to be: an inauthentic clone of my real self which stood before me. Slowly I began to realize that the real me, the real Dawn, is encased with every comment, every judgment! Each and every word that has been spoken to me in a positive, negative, loving, or judgmental kind of way has stuck to me like glue and begun to create layers within the light and dark dimension deep within. It would seem that maybe I had to create those layers to live within the world. But did I? Did I have to rebuke shame, fear, judgment, or any other negativity? How did that alter my perception of life or my judgment of others who are the same as me living, breathing human beings on this earth whose main purpose is to enjoy and let the spirit take over to express, seek, and embrace their purpose? Many times I have posted on social media, "Live on purpose with purpose." That is a powerful statement to me and a favorite of mine for sure. You cannot live by default or by accident. There is no right or wrong, good or bad. It is a journey, an experience . . . your life! As I have traveled many roads along this journey, I have been made aware that the very same things that are thrust in my world are things that were meant to be since my arrival into the world. There is a judgmental piece of us all due to fear, ego, and the stresses of the world. How do I become whole? It seems to me that I have been living half of my true self the whole time, and now I am on a journey through conscious thoughts and words to be whole! This is my contribution to the world: words that are channeled through me for myself and for you to embrace! You can utilize them in your life and share them with others, as we are all connected. Fusing the dual parts of life will bring you to an awakening of your true self. It will allow you to become one within the very being you are that connects us all.

“Anne Lamott is my Oprah.” -Chicago Tribune From the bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow comes an inspiring guide to restoring hope and joy in our lives. In Dusk, Night, Dawn, Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us grapple with. How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad newspiles up—from climate crises to daily assaults on civility—how can we cope? Where, she asks, “do we start to get our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back . . . with our sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers, poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?” We begin, Lamott says, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity. Drawing from her own experiences, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns ahead for all of us. As she does in Help, Thanks, Wow and her other bestselling books, Lamott explores the thorny issues of life and faith by breaking them down into manageable, human-sized questions for readers to ponder, in the process showing us how we can amplify life's small moments of joy by staying open to love and connection. As Lamott notes in Dusk, Night, Dawn, “I got Medicare three days before I got hitched, which sounds like something an old person might do, which does not describe adorably ageless me.” Marrying for the first time with a grown son and a grandson, Lamott explains that finding happiness with a partner isn't a function of age or beauty but of outlook and perspective. Full of the honesty, humor, and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Dusk, Night, Dawn is classic Anne Lamott—thoughtful and comic, warm and wise—and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to the better angels in all of us.

In this controversial, thought-provoking, and brilliant book, renegade thinkers Christopher Ryan and Cacilda JethÁ debunk almost everything we “know” about sex, weaving together convergent, frequently overlooked evidence from anthropology, archaeology, primatology, anatomy, and psychosexuality to show how far from human nature monogamy really is. In Sex at Dawn, the authors expose the ancient roots of human sexuality while pointing toward a more optimistic future illuminated by our innate capacities for love, cooperation, and generosity.

"The poems that comprise Variations on Dawn and Dusk are best considered as a single inquiry broken into discrete parts--they don't build exactly one upon another, they aren't a progressive series, but each is a meditation gathered around fundamental points of concern: light, dark, sky, cloud, faith, doubt, thought, care, memory, dust, and more. The project as a whole is meant as an imitation of so deep it becomes a participation in Robert Irwin's untitled (dawn to dusk) (2016), a permanent installation at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, TX"--
