What's New

This edition offers the best and most up-to-date biology coverage of any text in the field: New coverage integrates fMRI studies of brain activity, neuroscience research, and new findings in endocrinology; see especially Chapter 9 ("The Physiology of Sexual Response") and Chapter 15 ("Sexual Orientation").
The chapter on contraception and abortion has been completely updated with information from the 2004 edition of Hatcher's Contraceptive Technology, making Understanding Human Sexuality the first book in the market to include this cutting-edge information.
This edition features new coverage of the social exchange and symbolic interaction perspectives on sexual behavior.
A thoroughly revised photo program illustrates new concepts in the text and features photos of some of today's leading sex researchers.
New focus boxes include "Mapping the Sexual Brain" (in Chapter 9) and a personal glimpse of a gay couple (in Chapter 15).
The SexSource CD-ROM packaged 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. The book and the CD-ROM are completely integrated, with video stills included in the book's photo program.
