What is the fundamental cause of perceived incompatibility between the sexes? Why does the level of anxiety and stress that seems to accompany relationships between the sexes often lead to irrevocable breakups and divorces? In Special Conditions Apply¸ author Malcolm A.J. Charles explores the often taboo subject of adult relationships. Speaking from a layman"s perspective, Charles examines the fundamental differences between men and women and attempts to raise greater awareness and sensitivity about these differences. With a humorous approach, Special Conditions Apply discusses how the gender divide affects both men and women in the home, workplace, society, and the business community. While Charles does not pretend to have all of the answers to relationship issues, he lightheartedly presents information on how you can find the right answers when you don"t know the right questions to ask. Although there is no one-size-fits-all answer to adult relationships, Special Conditions Apply helps demystify this gender conflict.
