  • Streamlined organization and coverage. Several chapters and content areas were condensed and re-organized to maintain the manageability and flow that has made the text popular. For example, the material on sexuality education is integrated into the new Ch. 6, and material on sexually debilitating illness is moved to Ch. 7, consistent with the developmental focus in these chapters. Former chapters on STDs and HIV are combined into a single Ch. 17, and the material on sex and disability groups was moved to Ch. 8 where it is a better fit with chapter themes.
  • Over 500 new references have been added, offering the most up-to-date facts and research available from 2002 to 2004--including new tables on the latest statistics on HIV, the newest research findings on sexual arousal, and a comprehensive overview of STDs.
  • Updated, more inclusive art program. New illustrations of same-sex sexual activity are added to Ch. 12, 'Solitary Sex and Shared Sex,' as recommended by several reviewers, and better represent diverse sexual activities. In addition charts, graphs, and tables reflect the most current research available.
  • The text includes many new boxes of relevant material from popular publications--including cross-cultural boxes on group dating activities in Japan, the new interest in Tantric sex, and first-person accounts of being HIV positive.
  • Enhanced focus on ethical questions and critical thinking. For example, Ch. 1 contains new information on the 'culture wars' as reflected in attitudes and policies related to sexuality, and critical thinking questions and dilemmas of an ethical nature are interspersed and highlighted throughout the chapters.
  • SexSource Online, free with each new copy of the textbook, gives students access to the best of multimedia materials for sexuality courses. It includes short video clips that illustrate key concepts in the textbook and issues important to today¿s students, as well as practice quizzes for each chapter. Through McGraw-Hill's exclusive licensing agreement with The Discovery Channel¿, several of the video clips are from Discovery programs offered for the first time on a student CD.
  • Broader coverage of lifespan sexuality. The former single chapter has been divided into two, enabling a closer look at 'Sexuality in Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence,' and 'Adult Sexuality and Relationships.'
  • Affordability: This text is approximately less than the other leading full-size Human Sexuality titles.
  • New concept coverage integrated throughout. For example, Ch. 13 is broadened to include identity formation for both heterosexual and homosexual people, and Ch. 16 is expanded to include issues of sexual consent, a concept fundamental to understanding sexual coercion.
  • Relevant case studies: Cases feature college-age individuals, helping students think through options and values relating to the personal sexual decisions they will make throughout their lives.
  • Updated content. Over 700 new references have been added, offering the most up-to-date facts and research available from 2004 to 2007.
  • Emphasis on cultural context: The author emphasizes cross-cultural coverage and examples, which continue to help promote understanding of the crucial role that cultural context plays in establishing attitudes and values related to human sexuality. 'Cross Cultural Perspective' boxes in every chapter show students how sexuality is viewed in different cultures.
  • Thoroughly revised pedagogical program designed to reinforce the personal, applied, and culturally diverse voice of the book. The Case Studies have been modified and renamed 'Real People.' A new feature called 'Real Student Voices' integrates actual student commentary on chapter topics into every chapter. Cross-cultural material formerly in separate boxes has been integrated within the main narrative to promote better contextual understanding of the role of culture in attitudes and values.
  • Focus on health: A 'Focus on Health' feature at the end of each chapter provides a list of questions pertaining to a student¿s personal health.
  • SexSource Online, available to all instructors and students using this textbook, , includes over 60 short, educational video clips that illustrate key concepts in the textbook and issues important to today¿s students. Each clip is accompanied by post-viewing questions that can be used to generate in-class discussion, or completed independently by students. And, for courses taught wholly online, or those supported by course websites, the content is fully integrated within course management cartridges complete with suggested assessment items for instructional use.
  • Suggested readings: A select group of readings appears at the end of each chapter, providing an excellent resource for those students seeking more information on a given topic.
  • Emphasis on cultural context: The author emphasizes cross-cultural coverage with topics and examples woven throughout which promote understanding of the crucial role that cultural context plays in establishing attitudes and values related to human sexuality.
  • Focus on Health: A 'Focus on Health' icon appears next to selected content in each chapter. A list of questions at the end of each chapter ties these contents explicitly to a student¿s personal health, encouraging them to apply this important information to their personal life.
  • Self-evaluations help students understand their sexuality and its place in their personality. Questionnaires, self-awareness exercises, and values clarification tools appear at the end of many chapters to encourage students to take the time to think about these important questions.
  • Affordability: Due to its paperback format and streamlined, yet comprehensive coverage, this textbook is priced 20% to 40% less than its leading competitors.
