Description:
This is the most respected and authoritative college textbook available on human sexuality! Cutting edge and written in a direct, non-judgmental manner, this new edition of Crooks and Baur's OUR SEXUALITY has been thoroughly and carefully updated to reflect the most current research findings. This new edition is the first college text to bring cutting-edge and in-depth emphasis on the impact of politics on sexuality. Sensitive, comprehensive, and candid scholars and teachers, the authors keep you interested with the most exciting, emerging research and coverage, and focus on strengthening healthy communication among partners. Crooks and Baur have also revised their overall coverage on maintaining a responsible and healthy sexual relationship, with greater attention to diversity and inclusiveness. Other highlights include a new feature called "Sex and Politics," that examines the issue of value judgments that become public policy and what this means to sexual knowledge and to sexual choices. For example: information on different types of condoms was pulled off the CDC Website and replaced by abstinence only information, despite the fact that there is no empirical support about the efficacy of abstinence only education. You'll also enjoy the "Author's Files," which include new stories about the experiences of real people.

Great Book - This book was good in the sense that it teaches parents how to talk to their children/ teens about sex. I was very shocked that the book had so much information that was both essential and informative.

Excellent human sexuality text! - I am a graduate student teaching the undergrad human sexuality course, and I chose the newest edition of this book that I used in college. It is a great text! I reviewed several other human sexuality texts before I chose on this one, and I found this one to be by far the most informative, most organized, and most interesting. It includes many interesting facts that you won't find in other introductory human sexuality texts, facts that are actually useful in people's everyday lives, and the info people actually WANT to know. It covers a wide range of human sexuality topics and has chapters that many other texts don't. I would highly recommend this book for learning about human sexuality!

Great Human Sexuality book - Great book on issues of human sexuality. Apparently a new version just came out right after I bought it, though, so just a heads up.

Not happy with shipping - I am happy with the product, it was as described. However, we paid for expedited shipping, because we needed it right away, but we did not recieve our package until more than a week later.
