This important new text, written by the UK's first Professor of Human Sexuality fills a long-standing gap in the market by offering students a thorough, yet accessible, grounding in the complex and multi-disciplinary field of sexuality studies.

From its traditional place on the margins, sexuality now holds centre stage in a wide range of academic disciplines, and is of increasing interest to policy-makers and service providers in a world struggling to cope with HIV/AIDS, new forms of pornography, and the clash of ideologies around same-sex intimacy.

Fully illustrated, making use of international case studies and ranging widely over traditional disciplinary boundaries, this is sure to become the introductory text of choice for any student seeking to understand human sexual behaviours and cultures, and to familiarise themselves with current scholarship in the field.
