Hyde and DeLamater’s Understanding Human Sexuality examines the biological,
psychological, and sociological perspectives of human sexuality, providing practical
information needed for everyday living, all with a firm grounding in research. The author
team features a unique combination of a psychologist and a sociologist, which gives the
program a distinct interdisciplinary perspective. The twelfth edition features a new
emphasis on critical thinking skill development, with input from expert Diane Halpern to
ensure clarity and accessibility for students. Since its conception, Understanding Human
Sexuality has achieved distinction and success by following the science of human
sexuality. The first of the modern sexuality textbooks, Understanding Human Sexuality
introduced this topic to students through the science that has uncovered what we know
about the field. The new edition integrates Smart Book, a personalized learning program
offering students the insight they need to study smarter and improve classroom results.
