Human Sexuality

In this update of the 2009 edition, LeVay (neuroscientist/science writer) and Baldwin (sociologist, U. of California, Santa Barbara) cover the biological, medical, and sociocultural aspects of the gamut of variants of male and female sexuality throughout the life span, periods of history, and related topics. The amply illustrated text includes boxed information on biological, legal, and historical aspects of sex, research highlights, personal points of view, and controversies; chapter discussion questions; recommended reading and web resources; frequently asked questions; a glossary; and companion website.
