Falling In Love: With Other Essays On More Exact Branches Of Science (1890) is a collection of essays by Grant Allen, a Canadian-British novelist and science writer. The book explores the topic of falling in love from a scientific perspective, examining the physiological and psychological aspects of the experience. Allen draws on research from various fields, including biology, psychology, and sociology, to provide insights into the nature of romantic attraction and its evolutionary origins.In addition to the title essay, Falling In Love also includes several other essays on scientific topics, such as the physics of the sun, the chemistry of food, and the biology of sex. Allen’s writing is accessible and engaging, making complex scientific concepts understandable to the lay reader. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the scientific thinking of the late 19th century, and provides a valuable historical perspective on the study of love and human behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
