Intellectual fuel for dialoguing and learning

Taverner and Francoeur have provided access to a wide diversity of opinions. Leading voices from the field of sexuality speak about controversial issues which impact the study of Human Sexuality. Moreover, the editing provides an intelligent, compelling and up-to-date read---all the while setting the stage for stimulating discussions and continued learning. The reader now has an opportunity to better know the opposing arguments, thus more fully understanding their own stance.

An outstanding reference book for many areas.

I have always called the "Taking Sides" books a reference set. They are nothing other than outstanding at the high school and community college level for use across the curriculum especially in psychology, sociology, government, debate class, speech and the list is endless when you are discussing controversial topics in your classroom. I only wish these books were advertised as a set.
