Quirk's nonfiction book ''It's Not You, It's Biology: the Science of Love, Sex & Relationships'' (originally titled ''Sperm Are from Men, Eggs Are from Women: The Real Reason Men and Women Are Different'', as a retort to John Gray's ''Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus'') is a relationships book grounded in science, presenting relationship advice heavily grounded in evolutionary psychology.〔http://www.futuresalon.org/2007/01/index.html〕 Quirk's 2009 novel ''Exult'' tells a story of love, death, and hope among a community of hang-gliders. Quirk has also published a science/history book, ''Call to the Rescue: The Story of the Marine Mammal Center''. ==Controversy== In 2011, a lawsuit claiming copyright infringement was filed by author Joe Quirk, claiming the movie ''Premium Rush'' was based on Quirk's screenplay from ''The Ultimate Rush''. The suit claimed many plot, character name, and scene similarities to Quirk's original screenplay.〔 In July 2012, federal judge Richard Seeborg declined to dismiss Quirk's claim that Sony Pictures, parent company of Columbia Pictures, had breached an implied contract. The production company Pariah, director David Koepp and co-screenwriter John Kamps are also named in the suit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joe Quirk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
