Product Description

The second edition of this highly praised human sexuality text continues to be a product of author Janell Carroll's partnership with her students to answer the questions and concerns that they have about themselves and their sexuality with scientific fact, sensitivity, humor and unmatched candor. Janell Carroll clearly conveys foundational biological and health issues, extensively cites both current and classic research, and addresses all material in a fresh and fun way; her book helps teach students what they need, and want, to know about sexuality. Her focus takes into account the social, religious, ethnic, racial, and cultural contexts of today's students. Dr. Carroll has used feedback from the first edition to add even further value to this popular title-streamlining student pedagogy and providing dynamic learning opportunities through Active Summaries at the end of chapters, a new online student tutorial, new video components, and content for Classroom Response Systems. This continues to be the text most representative of today's students, incorporating new sexual position art, a new pronunciation guide, and (for instructors) a new cross-cultural Slang Guide.

Textbook: Sexuality Now: Embracing Diversity
This textbook would be very helpful for any student in gender based or sexuality classes. The case studies and pictures make it an easy read.

sex books
awesome textbook i have to read it for class but i dont even mind reading it, theres alot of useful info about relationships not just sex.!!

Would not recommend this book
I would not recommend this book to anyone. Reason being is that the author provided incorrect information in her first chapter about Islam. Anyone who knows a little bit about the religion would have caught the author's horrific stereotyping of this religion. As college students we depend on textbooks being authentic and correct. However, this is not the case with this textbook. The author should have made sure that her information is correct about any topic that she presents in her book. The damage that has been done to the Islamic faith because of the author's ignorant statements in her book is unmeasurable.
