Hamish Hamilton, London, first edition, 1980. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. 480 pp,. From the blurb: "This long, cool, consistently entertaining look at sexual attitudes, customs and practices in all the world's major civilizations (past and present) is less a successor to Reay Tannahill's Food in History (1973) than its other half. This time, drawing on art, architecture, literature and theology, as well as a whole alphabet of scientific disciplines, the author places the second of humanity's great imperatives - the sex drive - in its widest historical perspective. The range of information contained in this book is immense - from prehistoric polygamy to Greek dildoes, Egyptian contraceptives, Taoist sex manuals, Turkish eunuchs, Panamanian sodomites, Victorian methods of 'reconstructing' virgins, and the sex-role revolution of the 1970s.

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1981. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. xi, 499 pp, ills. From the blurb: "Profcssor Tanner's volume traces the history of studies of the physical growth of children from the time of the Ancient Greeks to the present day. The author summarises the background to and the achievement of the surveys of child growth made in the course of social reform throughout the nineteenth century, and shows their relevance for social and economic history. About a third of the accounts cover studies from 1930 onwards, especially those in the United States and Europe.
