In this textbook, Simon LeVay and his new coauthor, sociologist Janice Baldwin, aim to help students understand the diversity of human sexual expression as well as the diversity of perspectives from which sexuality can be studied. Well-known for its high-quality presentation of biological aspects of sexuality, the book also devotes rich coverage to the insights gained from cognitive science, social psychology, sociology, feminism, and cross-cultural studies, along with both moral and political discourse on sexual themes. For the Third Edition, the authors have made some organizational changes so that the book corresponds more closely to the sequence in which human sexuality is usually taught. The new edition provides up-to-date coverage of all topics, ranging from the newest developments in contraceptive technology to gay marriage in California. Still the leader in terms of its biological coverage, the Third Edition is more accessible to a broad range of students, thanks to simplified explanations of some complex biological issues.

Human Sexuality, Third Edition

Janice I. Baldwin

Sexuality is a central but highly controversial aspect of human nature. In this new undergraduate textbook, Simon LeVay and Sharon Valente aim to help students understand the diversity of human sexual expression as well as the various perspectives from which sexuality can be viewed. These perspectives range from biology and medicine, evolutionary theory, cognitive science, social psychology, feminism, and cross-cultural studies to moral and political discourse. Rather than attempting to present cut-and-dried answers to contentious or unresolved sexual questions, the authors present solid data and a multiplicity of interpretive viewpoints. This approach helps students develop critical thinking, make informed decisions about their own sex lives, and contribute constructively and non-judgmentally to the social debate on sexual issues. 
Human Sexuality is richly illustrated in full color, with photographs and innovative line art featuring "balloon-style" captions. Interspersed throughout are over 100 text boxes highlighting special topics in seven categories: Biology of Sex; Cultural Diversity; Personal Points of View; Research Highlights; Sex in History; Sexual Health; and Society, Values, and the Law. 
Every copy of the textbook includes the interactive Exploring Human Sexuality Study Guide CD-ROM. This CD-ROM is keyed to the text, and features objectives, study questions, self-quizes,essay/discussion questions, key terms and animations
