About the Author :
David Coad is Associate Professor of English at the Universite de Valenciennes, France, and the author of Gender Trouble Down Under: Australian Masculinities.

Review :
"...Coad's comprehensive overview of the term and the phenomenon, their roots and evolution, accounting, for example, for how metrosexuality differs from earlier similar phenomena and how it appears in men's lifestyle magazines, comes as a welcome and timely reminder of the importance of continued analysis of embodied and sexually defined masculinities in popular culture." - Men and Masculinities "...recommend[ed] ... for anyone who has a Gender, Women's Studies, or Men's Studies program, or anyone who is a marketing or management major. There is something for all of them, as well as the general public, to see how we are being manipulated in our view of sex, sexuality, and image in advertising." - Southwest Journal of Cultures "...an important commentary on the range of experiences available to US and European men, extending beyond the narrow confines of traditional masculinity." - CHOICE "At last someone rescues the metrosexual from the mendacious marketers and gives him what he craved all along but hardly ever got: serious attention." - Mark Simpson, author of Male Impersonators: Men Performing Masculinity
