Mason desribes 180 scientific works (mostly books) in the field of sexuality, written for college and university-level audiences. The works are arranged into nine topics: female sexuality, history and sex, male sexuality, philosophy and sex, physiology and sex, sex education, sex research, sex therapy and counseling, and sexual minorities. The description of each work includes a brief summary and a critique (subdivided each time into strengths' and deficiencies') of that work's objectivity, factual coverage, and attention to historical background of the topic covered. The author points out sexist bias, homophobia, subtle contempt or omission of references to handicapped persons, and so on, when applicable. This would be a very useful reference at any academic library.-Choice
