The Birds and the Bees, and Books Made of Cheese
This week, Lucy Dallas and Alex Clark are joined by Carol Tavris to discuss two wide-ranging works of biology that cast fascinating light on our understanding of sexual behaviour and gender identity throughout the animal and human world. And James Waddell explores a \u201cbibliobiography\u201d by a Shakespeare scholar that digs deep into centuries of books and their readers - from \u201cshelfies\u201d to book burning to the historical precedent for Jilly Cooper\u2019s Riders.
