Yarber (applied health science and gender studies and Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Indiana U.) et al. offer a textbook on human sexuality that integrates research and presents an approach that encourages students to be proactive in and about their sexual well-being. Emphasizing critical thinking and inclusion, it uses a biopsychosocial approach and also addresses ethnic differences. Revised in design, this edition also has revised chapters on contraception, birth control, and abortion; sex and health and illness; sexually transmitted infections; and HIV and AIDS. It incorporates added critical thinking questions; updated menopause content; increased focus on inclusive, nonjudgmental language and nomenclature; expanded global perspective; increased focus on gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and intersex issues and social networking and web-based resources; and updated material on emergency contraception, managing HPV, menopausal hormone therapy, assisted reproductive technologies, sexual function difficulties, laws related to sexuality, and HIV, among other content changes.
