Description: Bisexuality: A Critical Reader brings together for the first time in one volume some of the most important and influential writings on bisexuality of the last 100 years. The pieces in this unique collection explore this slippery and often controversial concept from a range of perspectives, placing it in its historical and cultural contexts and interrogating its many meanings and uses. The reader is divided into four sections:
*Genealogy of the Concept of Bisexuality traces the ancestry of the concept and the ways in which its meanings have changed since the 1890s
*Bisexual Identities and Bisexual Behaviors samples some of the most important international research from the 1970s to the 1990s, discussing what it means to call oneself--or not to call oneself--"bisexual."
*Bisexual Epistemologies examines recent arguments that bisexuality is a revolutionary concept with a dangerous potential to subvert old ways of thinking about gender and sexuality
*Differences explores the inner dynamics of bisexuality and its possible futures in cyberspace. Truly unique and invaluable, The Bisexuality Reader adds a critical voice in the study of sexuality.

Description: Finding Out introduces readers to lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender (LGBT) studies. Unlike most books on LGBT, this textbook combines original material with esteemed journal articles. Chapter introductions, written by the authors, place current research findings in a clear context. Finding Out reviews the history of same-sex relationships and gender variance from ancient Greece to the present yet goes beyond a historical account to provide an in-depth examination of LGBT culture and society.
Key Features ·
- Includes chapter introductions that gives students a useful context for each research article
- Connects chapter topics to one another with Lambda Links, which help facilitate analysis and discussion
- Directs readers to relevant studies and information with “Find Out More” boxes in each chapter

It provides material valuable for both students new to the field and those taking more advanced courses without excluding either group on the basis of approach or diction. … I just love this book!” –Sarah-Hope Parameter University of California, Santa Cruz “
This text will give me a way to teach LGBT issues as central – that is, NOT as tangents, as add-ons, as side issues, but as a central area of inquiry. … This text is by far the best thing I have seen, and it is heads and shoulders above any other possibilities...” – Mary Armstrong, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
Ancillaries Includes an Instructors’ Resource CD-ROM as well as a robust student study site.
Intended Audience This core text is designed for Introduction to Sexuality Studies as well as other undergraduate courses that include LGBT topics. Anyone interested in the history, culture, and society of LGBT will find this book an informative resource.

Description: Many of the stories in Out & About Campus are as upsetting or enraging as one would imagine, given the scenario of a queer or questioning youth thrust into a historically straight institution and surrounded by other equally insecure young people. Tales of intolerant classmates and obstructive professors abound, with the usual threats of violence, gay bashings, and episodes of self-loathing. But the gradual movement toward acceptance of "diversity" on college campuses since the mid-1980s has clearly altered the social landscape. In "Sisterhood," for instance, Stephanie J. Stillman recounts her gradual coming-out to her sorority sisters, most of whom had figured it out for themselves and none of whom condemned her as she had expected. In "Competitive College," Ruth Wielgosz explains the informal designation of "Big Dyke on Campus" at Bryn Mawr and describes the requirements for the position (as listed in the college newspaper), which begin with "(1) Has lots of attitude, very self-confident," then move on to "(5) Unattainable, or nearly so, (6) Many people have crushes on her, and many more feel too unworthy, and (7) Visually impressive, especially with regard to hair." Several contributors describe their political activism on campus and their service work for other gay students. Overall, these stories provide an encouraging look at an unprecedented cultural expansion. --Regina Marler

Description: Most public health students, academics, and practitioners recognise the association between racial/ethnic minority status and the disproportionate burden of preventable disease in the USA. Much less attention has been directed, however, towards the health disparities that affect gay and bisexual men. These disparities affect the lives of an estimated 5.3-7.4 million American men, and are an important concern for public health. Until very recently, the relative invisibility of this group and a paucity of empirical data have hampered attempts to identify health disparities experienced by gay and bisexual men. This book proposes to review and synthesize evidence of health disparities among gay and bisexual men, identify individual and community factors that contribute to these disparities, and articulate strategies for public health efforts to eliminate disparities. To date, these disparities have largely been discussed in isolation in the research literature in a manner that does not permit a comprehensive examination of these problems, their underlying causes, and potential solutions.Thus, a primary emphasis of the book will be to document health disparities among gay and bisexual men while also describing public health solutions to these challenges.
