Thinking Critically about Research on Sex and Gender (2nd Edition)

The authors first demonstrate that much of the existing research on sex and gender is not well-established, and then provide readers with constructive critical tools they can apply to this wealth of research to come to realistic, constructive conclusions. All of this is provided in a concise, inexpensive volume by a best-selling trade author and instructor team.
