Abstract
IN this book, Mr. Bryan makes a sensible and interesting contribution to the literature of sex and its human significance. He gives a plain and straightforward statement which could be read with advantage by both adolescents and adults. There is nothing of a pornographic or even emotional character in the book, but much information which should afford wise guidance to healthy life and parentage. Among the many subjects clearly discussed are birth-control, sex determination, maternal impressions, inbreeding and heredity, hybrids and venereal disease. Many common fallacies are unveiled and curious cases described. In every respect the author has been successful in his endeavour to place before general readers the main facts relating to the whole range of sex
