520    "What makes a face attractive? Why are we attracted to 
       certain faces and not others? In this fascinating and 
       exuberant account from the frontiers of science, David 
       Perrett, a winner of the prestigious Golden Brain award 
       and one of the world's foremost experts in face perception,
       and Louise Barrett, an evolutionary psychologist, tell the
       amazing story of where the human face came from, and how 
       our perceptions of the face affect the way we judge an 
       individual's personality, health, trustworthiness, and 
       suitability as a friend or lover. Revealing some truly eye
       -opening new findings that will change the way you see 
       your own face and those of everyone around you, the 
       authors explore provocative questions and sometimes 
       unsettling facts: How much does facial symmetry really 
       matter? Why do masculine-looking babies commonly grow up 
       to behave like "masculine" adults? Why do so many people 
       at age 50 really have the face they deserve? Why doesn't 
       plastic surgery actually erase the years? What are the 
       skin colors that are most attractive? (The answers are not
       what you might think.) How likely is it that you have 
       friends that you consider ugly? Far from offering a 
       license to be lookist, Barrett and Perrett offer proof 
       that inner beauty is often what really matters in the 
       mating game and in wider life. And studies prove it makes 
       you better looking, too"--|cProvided by publisher.
