The International Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality is a comprehensive A-Z reference with over 500 entries that define sexuality from a broad biocultural perspective and show the diversity of human sexual behavior and belief systems. The first encyclopedia to focus on cultural diversity as a specific theme, it contains entries ranging from short definitions of scientific, clinical, cultural, and colloquial terms to extended explorations of major concepts. The Encyclopedia places topics within their socio-cultural and cross-cultural contexts while also exploring evolutionary and primatological concerns. The content covers 13 key areas of human sexuality, including clinical medicine, body modification, the language of sexuality, the history of sexology, gender, and globalization and sexuality. Under the editorship of two esteemed anthropologists, the entries have been written and reviewed by an international team of top scholars and practitioners. The Encyclopedia is available as an online platform with interactive cross-referencing links and powerful searching and browsing capabilities within the work and across Wiley's comprehensive online reference collection or as a three-volume print set. With essential information for students, scholars, and researchers in a range of disciplines across the social sciences, medicine, and science, this is a landmark resource for a complex and dynamic field of study.
