Students are encouraged to explore the varied dimensions of human sexuality and see how each affects their own personal sexuality, sexual health, and sexual responsibility.

In this update of the 2007 edition, Greenberg (emeritus, public and community health, U. of Maryland) and coauthors present an integrated approach to sexuality: exploring its communication; biological; psychological/spiritual; and sociocultural (multicultural, ethical, public policy) dimensions. Mini-chapters and boxed features highlight issues, e.g., body image, and separate facts from myths. The text includes discussion and critical thinking questions, a glossary, updated references, Web resources, and access to an online study guide. The theme of taking personal responsibility for one's sexual health is reinforced in an inventive concluding futuristic scenario. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
