John Money is widely regarded as the foremost theoretician of human sexual relations in the twentieth century. Sin, Science, and the Sex Police is the latest in a compelling series of his selected writings on the subjects of sexology (the science of sex) and sexosophy (the philosophy of sex). The essays update and consolidate the many seminal and influential ideas Dr. Money has pioneered during the last dozen years. The book is written in a style intended to be accessible to any educated general reader interested in the science and politics of sex and sexology in the 1980s and 1990s.

Chloe Bird and Patricia Rieker argue that to improve men's and women's health, individuals, researchers, and policymakers must understand the social and biological sources of the perplexing gender differences in illness and longevity. Although individuals are increasingly aware of what they should do to improve health, competing demands for time, money, and attention discourage or prevent healthy behavior. Drawing on research and cross-national examples of family, work, community, and government policies, the authors develop a model of constrained choice that addresses how decisions and actions at each of these levels shape men's and women's health-related opportunities. Understanding the cumulative impact of their choices can inform individuals at each of these levels how to better integrate health implications into their everyday decisions and actions. Their platform for prevention calls for a radical reorientation of health science and policy to help individuals pursue health and to lower the barriers that may discourage that pursuit.
