Using humor and a contemporary voice, HUMAN SEXUALITY FROM CELLS TO SOCIETY, 1E engages readers to acquire a greater knowledge of their bodies, their values, and their relationships with others. This concise, comprehensive, and up-to-date book emphasizes critical thinking--in both human sexuality research as well as readers' own sexual lives--and is geared to help readers understand the diverse foundations of sexuality, as well as provide skills to evaluate current research and data. Working from a multidisciplinary perspective, the author's approach is accessible to anyone, even without a background in biology or critical thinking, and allows readers to see how human sexuality interrelates with psychology, biology, health, law, media, religion, and other topics that at first glance seem unrelated.

本書以幽默而現代的口吻帶領讀者從認識自己的身體開始，近一步了解個人的價值以及人際間的互動。除此之外，本書更是強調批判性的思考，從人類性行為的研究到讀者個人的性生活，在幫助讀者了解性的不同面向時，同時提供不同的方法以鑑定現有的研究和數據。本書廣泛的討論讓即使是完全沒有接觸過生物或是學習批判性思考的讀者在閱讀這本書時也能輕易上手。而其他看似與性毫無關係的主題，如法律、媒體，甚至宗教，在閱讀本書後讀者更是能發覺兩者之間意想不到的關連。
