'The detailed and thoughtful analysis, appropriate and comprehensive annotated reading sections at the end of each chapter and suggestion of exercises and questions all make this book an extremely valuable read.

This book will help us to get to grips with the process of finding where each of us stands.' - Neil Davidson, Working with Young Men'Halstead and Reiss provide a rich diet of suggestions relating to what a school sex-education programme that has values at its heart might look like...plenty of food for thought in formulating sex-education programmes that get to the heart of things and make a real difference.' - Lynndy Levin, Journal of Philosophy of Education, Vol 39, Nol 1, 2005
