ISBN: 0-275-98581-4 |2006 |FPD | 982pages | 6mb
Description : “Written by authors with established expertise in
their areas, this sophisticated three-volume overview and summary of
research data on a wide variety of sexual topics attempts to review
what is known about human sexuality and how we know it. Volume 1 covers
such topics as sex behavior in the US, sexual orientation, and
commercial sex. Volume 2 looks at love, sexual-arousal disorders, and
sex therapy. Volume 3 deals with such topics as rape and pedophilia and
the treatment of those who commit these acts. McAnulty and Burnette
assured a broad audience in insisting that the contributors adhere to
(and present) the facts and write in a manner accessible to interested
laypersons. Throughout, philosophical differences in understanding
sexual behavior–e.g., the evolutionary and the sociocultural
approaches–are highlighted. Redundancy in material covered is
unavoidable but not distracting; the chapter references are copious and
valuable. Essential. All readers; all levels.”-Choice. “Writing for a
general audience, the contributing psychologists, sociologists, medical
doctors and public health officials work from the idea that human
sexual function is affected by many factors, including those that are
biological, sociocultural and psychological. However, caution the
editors, readers must also understand they may be approaching this
material with strong beliefs about sex and sexuality based on cultural
prohibitions.”
