Hunger.

Annotation. Unlike other animals whose hungers are strictly biological, humans have an almost infinite variety of appetites and desires. Even those of us fortunate enough to have sufficient food, drink, warmth and safety are still possessed by other intense hungers. But, how much consideration do we give our hungers and what do they say about us? In this thought-provoking new book, Raymond Tallis explores our fascinating, mysterious and multi-layered hungers.
