This comprehensive guide to X and Y chromosome aneuploidy is written in lay language for affected individuals and their families, providing an authoritative volume that explains X and Y chromosome variations in clear and accurate terms. These surprisingly common genetic conditions, affecting 1 in 500 individuals, include Klinefelter syndrome, Trisomy X and 47,XYY. This guide provides a lifespan approach to the three trisomy conditions, as well as their less common variations involving 48 and 49 chromosomes. Readers are provided clear explanations of the genetics involved, diagnosis and disclosure issues, development from infancy through early adulthood, potential health and fertility concerns, and educational and psychosocial considerations. The text is illustrated with actual quotations from those who live with the disorders, and provides not only descriptions of potential concerns, but also strategies for successfully addressing the challenges that may develop.

Providing a comprehensive framework for the broad subject of human sexuality, this two-volume set offers a context of historical development, scientific discovery, and sociopolitical and sociocultural movements. The broad topic of sex—encompassing subjects as varied as sexuality, sexual and gender identity, abortion, and such crimes as sexual assault—is one of the most controversial in American society today. This two-volume encyclopedic set provides readers with more than 450 entries on the subject, offering a comprehensive overview of major sexuality issues in American and global culture. Themes that run throughout the volumes include sexual health and reproduction, sexual identity and orientation, sexual behaviors and expression, the history of sex and sexology, and sex and society. Entries cover a breadth of subjects, such as the major contributors to the field of sexology; the biological, psychological, and cultural dimensions of sex and sexuality; and how the modern-day political climate and the government play a major role in determining attitudes and beliefs about sex. Written in clear, jargon-free language, this set is ideal for students as well as general readers.
