Is our sexuality determined primarily by our genes? Or is it shaped by the social norms and expectations we happen to be born into. This Very Short Introduction provides an accessible, thoughtful and thought-provoking introduction to major debates around sexuality in the modern world, highlighting the social and political aspects of sexuality. It critically explores different ways of defining and thinking about sexuality and shows that many of our assumptions about what is "natural" in the sexual domain have, in reality, varied greatly in different historical or cultural contexts. The volume also examines ways in which governments have tried to regulate citizens' sexualities in the past-through policies and laws concerning public health, HIV/Aids, prostitution, and sex education-paying special attention to the particular zeal with which women's sexuality has been policed. The volume concludes by discussing political activism around sexuality more widely, focusing on the ways in which feminists, lesbians and gay men, as well as religious fundamentalists have transformed our ways of thinking about sexuality in the past few decades.About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

CHRISTMAS
Format: Hardcover
EXCELLENT BOOK, I listened to Rick Renner on a program several months back and try to catch him everytime he is being interviewed. His other book about Noah and the flood, it too is so enlightening and opens these stories up to historical accuracy.

Very nicely done
Format: Paperback
This is a well written, very thorough and easy to read volume which I am glad to have read. I bought the updated 2024 edition. Although the style is easy to read, there is a large amount of practical information, very useful down the road. The authors cover legal issues well, and compared to other books Ive read on executor duties, this one takes the prize. i will look for other work by Mary Randolph, or at least NOLO in the future.

Good book to read if you are appointed someone's executor
Basic information that covers many different situations an executor might face. Good book to read as you start acting as executor but you will need to consult other resources for in-depth discussion of more complicated situations.
