Customer Reviews

A lot of material in easy to absorb graphics

I have bought several of these Penguin Atlases. They are very interesting and easy to read, with a lot of easily digestable material comparing countries around the world. They're fun for a quick browse but would also be good for a high school or college course. It covers topics ranging from sexual practices to how laws and religous customs affect sex. It also speculates on the future of sex. There are maps and graphics comparing world practices for many topics, such as homosexuality, adultery, divorce, infertility, sexually-tansmitted infections, prostitution and sexual harassment.
