Synopsis

The Eighth Edition of this #1 market-leading college textbook in human sexuality continues to offer the same qualities you've come to expect from Crooks and Baur and more. Continuing their tradition of sensitivity, comprehensiveness, currency, and candor, Robert Crooks and Karla Baur offer much that is new and exciting in this revision. You'll find thorough coverage of all major topics incorporated into every section, including sexual health issues; the very latest research, new stories about the experiences of real people from the "Authors' Files;" and a writing style that is warm, direct, and non-judgmental. The authors have also further refined their focus on strengthening healthy communication among partners, attention to diversity, and overall coverage on maintaining a responsible and healthy sexual relationship."

In addition, this text is the best example I have seen in regard to contextualizing the findings of studies with racial/ethnic minorities."
