These previous handbooks focused on the links between sexual psychology and behavior withinasingledomain oftheevolutionarypsychological litera- ture, such as the Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Violence, Homicide, and War (published in 2012, edited by Shackelford and Weekes- Shackelford) and the Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Family Psychology (published in 2011, edited by Salmon and Shackelford). Weekes-Shackelford and Shackelford about a decade ago co-edited Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Sexual Psychology and Behavior (2012, published by Springer Nature). In addition to being somewhat outdated, that volume focused on humans, whereas the current volume includes work on nonhumans. Furthermore, the Weekes-Shackelford and Shackelford volume included just twentychaptersinasinglevolume,whereasthecurrenthandbookboastsnearly eightychaptersacrossfourvolumesand,therefore,ismorecomprehensive. The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Sexual Psychology comprises four volumes of around twenty chapters each. Chapters in Volume 1: Foundations address foundational theories and meth- odological approaches. Chapters in Volume 2: Male Sexual Adaptations address theory and research focused on sexual adaptations in human males. ChaptersinVolume3:FemaleSexualAdaptationsaddresstheoryandresearch focusedonsexualadaptationsinhumanfemales.Finally,chaptersinVolume 4: Controversies, Applications, and Nonhuman Primate Extensions address controversies and unresolved issues; applications to health, law, and pornog- raphy; and nonhuman primate evolved sexual psychology. Evolutionary psychology is a vital area of the modern discipline of psych- ology and, indeed, ofthe social,life, and behavioral sciences. The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Sexual Psychology is the most comprehensive modern handbook for the field that addresses sexual psych- ology and behavior. The four volumes provide a rich overview of the most important theoretical and empirical work in the field. This handbook is directed primarily to researchers and graduate students, but it will also be usefulforadvancedundergraduates.Itprovidesacomprehensiveoverviewof ix https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108943529.001 Published online by Cambridge University Press x Preface the state of the art in evolutionary perspectives on sexual psychology that affords both established researchers and students a rich and current under- standing of the discipline. Unlike most previous volumes in this area, which have been relatively narrow in coverage, The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Sexual Psychology is broad and inclusive. In addition to the research groups pioneering the field of evolutionary psychology in the Western world (e.g., Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States), there is rapidly growing interest in this field in other parts of the world. For example, there has been a substantial increase in the contributions of Asian and South American scholars to evolutionary psychology in recent years. The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Sexual Psychology provides these new scholars with a wide-ranging summary of this exciting and ever-expanding field. The selection of chapters and contributors for the handbook was deter- mined by focusing on the breadth of the literature while attempting to maxi- mizetheinternationalappealofthiswork.Chaptersaresufficientlylengthyto afford detailed reviews of the relevant topics, but contributors also were encouraged to avoid excessive description of individual studies. In addition, contributors were instructed to include reference to work conducted by scholars outside of North America and Europe in order to increase the breadth of coverage and to generate additional interest in the handbook and the field among scholars from other parts of the world. Where research from other countries or cultures was not available, contributors were asked to providetheir professionalevaluation ofpotentialculturalinfluencesonavail- able empirical findings and to outline the degree to which available findings are likely to generalize cross-culturally. I hope readers find the four volumes of The Cambridge Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Sexual Psychology as exciting to read as it was for me to organize and edit. I am grateful to each of the several dozen contributorsfromaroundtheworldfortheirtime,attention,andcommitment to this unique resource, and to the editorial staff at Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108943529.001 Published online by Cambridge University Press
