Of the great mass of literature which is appearing nowdays dealing with questions of sex from one or another angle this book stands out as a distinct contribution to a broad and sane discussion of the sex problem. Sex is not considered from the usual narrow and distorted standpoint, but is appreciated as a component part of living to which it contributes values of the utmost importance. It is discussed from a biological, physiological, psychological and sociological point of view and its various ramifications in the fields of perversions and sublimations, marriage and divorce, prostitution and renunciation with side lights from the angles of economics, pedagogy and eugenics. The book as a wrote bespeaks a broader appreciation of the variations in individual make-up and the corresponding needs that go with such make-ups and sets the standard of sexual ethics sufficiently high to incorporate such a broadening of standards without at the same time sanctioning any lowering of the sense of personal responsibility.
The book is well and interestingly written; it discusses all of the live issues in this field and in its comprehensive treatment of the whole problem can be confidently recommended as a starting point for those who wish to go further along any line of inquiry.
