Product 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.

I will never buy anything from this company ever again. The book came in a good amount of time. However, I did not end up needing the book and the company would not take it back. Once they send out a product they will not return it.

I go to college and at the bookstore located at my college this book in PAPERBACK was priced at $170 dollars. Which is ridiculous as you can imagine! When I got this book in the mail, it was in mint condition (I did buy it new) and I was very happy paying the price for a better quaility book. It did not come with the CD that a book might in the book store but lucky for me my teacher said she wasn't going to use it. Overal I reccomend buying this book.

With textbooks costing an arm and a leg, it was so nice to get such a good deal on one of them! The book arrived promptly and in good condition. No problems!
