`...this book is worth pursuing...The only real problem in writing
about sex is that of predictability; by juxtaposing many writers
and many ideas, Sexuality avoids that fate and offers a great deal
of enlightenment as well.'

`An excellent selection of essays....students will get a lot out of
it. Useful across other c.s. modules, too.'
