[Ed.]00aEncyclopedia of Sex and Gender 4V  aDetroitbThomson galec2007  a4 v.b: ill. ;c29 cm.  aStarred Review* Today, print and online resources that blur or offer a new perspective on sex and gender abound. Recent debates and scholarship focused on sex and gender illustrate, first, that gendered discourse in both the public and private domains is most assuredly alive and well in the first decade of the twenty-first century, and, second, that the concepts of sex and gender are inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on anthropology, biology, cultural studies, history, linguistics, literature, political science, psychology, and sociology. Undergraduates in these fields, as well as advanced high-school students and educated general readers, need look no further than this landmark work to explore, examine, and evaluate the various concepts of sex and gender that impact nearly every area of human interaction and activity. Scope and contents, along with the parameters of the encyclopedia, are covered in a carefully written introduction. The variety of entries and the breadth of subjects treated in this encyclopedia are two of the many notable features of the work. Readers will find highly readable and well-written articles 0aSex --Encyclopedias. 0aSex --Cross-cultural studies.
