Book information
Description
In The Disposable Male, Michael Gilbert takes on the important questions in life—who we fall in love with and why, how we feel about sex, marriage, family and career—exposing the deep and fundamental underlying forces that continue to shape the pivotal issues of vital concern to us all.
