Product Description Learn before you love with Human Sexuality in a World of Diversity! Human Sexuality’s distinctive approach differs from other texts in its full embrace and affirmation of diversity of human sexuality within Canada and society in general. The new edition has been refined to feature a more inviting, inclusive, and positive writing style that better encompasses sexual diversity. Expanded coverage of sex education continues the book’s strong emphasis on sexual health issues and encourages students to take an active role in health promotion.Review “Surprisingly engaging. Interesting content. Brief overviews of topics that can be “filled in” successfully in lecture….The writing style is fluid and engaging—I was quite pleasantly surprised. The organization of the chapters was clear, and the concepts communicated were, by and large, clearly explained. This is a very readable and interesting text.” --Jennifer Ostovich, McMaster University “The chapters are well written and interesting. They cover the information in enough depth without overwhelming the reader with the amount of information… I have been using this book for about 4 years now….I will keep on using this book and recommend it to the department.” --Madeleine Côté, Dawson College “These [discussion] questions are typically in an area that can be surrounded by diverse opinions yet general enough to allow broad and potentially lively discussion.” --Monika Stelzl, St. Thomas University “The revisions are careful and scholarly with attention to detail and cultural diversity…. They [changes that express diversity] enhance the appeal of the text as a scholarly work appropriate to a multicultural student population such as the one we have here in Montreal, Canada.” --Christine Lavoie, Vanier College “This is a very good textbook that covers a wide range of material relevant to human sexuality. It would be appropriate for university or college students from a variety of backgrounds. The information is up to date and includes a lot of Canadian content. I would recommend this text to others.” --AnonymousAbout the Author Ed Herold is a professor emeritus at the University of Guelph.
