On its success or failure seems to hinge the moral fate of the nation and its future citizens. But whether we argue over condom distribution to teenagers or the use of an anti-abortion curriculum in high schools, we rarely question the basic premise - the adolescents need to be educated about sex. How did we come to expect the public schools to mange our children's sexuality? more important, what is it about the adolescent that arouses so much anxiety among adults? This book travels back over the past century to trace the emergence of the \"sexual adolescent\" and the evolution of the schools' efforts to teach sex to this captive pupil. The author takes us on a fascinating ride through America's sexual mores: from a time when young men were warned about the crippling effects of masturbation, to the belief that schools could and should train adolescents in proper courtship and parenting techniques, to the re-emergence of sexual abstention brought by the AIDS crisis. we see how the political and moral anxieties of each era found their way into sex education curricula, reflecting the priorities of the elders more than the concern of the young. Moran illuminates the aspirations and limits of sex education and the ability of public authority to shape private behaviour. More than a critique of public health policy. \"Teaching Sex\" is a broad cultural inquiry into America's understanding of adolescence, sexual morality, and social reform.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097944658193,"sku":"CIN067400227XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50145532772625,"sku":"CIN067400227XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/067400227X.jpg?v=1750977063"},{"product_id":"scopes-trial-book-jeffrey-p-moran-9780312249199","title":"The Scopes Trial","description":"The Scopes trial shocked America. Tennessee schoolteacher John Scopes brought the question of teaching evolution in schools to every dinner table, and it remains an essential topic in any course on American History, the History of Education, and Religious History. This volume's lively interpretative introduction provides an analysis of the trial and its impact on the moral fiber of the country and the educational system, and examines the race and gender issues that shook out of the debate. The editor has excerpted the crucial exchanges from the trial transcript itself, and includes these along with reactions to the trial, taken from newspaper reports, letters, and magazine articles. Telling political cartoons and evocative photographs add a colorful dimension to this collection, while a chronology of events, questions for consideration, and a bibliography provide strong pedagogical support.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50349725057297,"sku":"CIN0312249195G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50492281094417,"sku":"CIN0312249195VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0312249195.jpg?v=1751038180"},{"product_id":"teaching-sex-book-jeffrey-p-moran-9780674009820","title":"Teaching Sex","description":"Sex education, since its advent at the dawn of the twentieth century, has provoked the hopes and fears of generations of parents, educators, politicians, and reformers.

But it is not merely a political issue. In American Genesis, Jeffrey P. Moran explores the ways in which the evolution debate has reverberated beyond the confines of state legislatures and courthouses. Moran shows that social forces such as gender, regionalism, and race have intersected with the debate over evolution in ways that shed light on modern American culture. He investigates, for instance, how antievolutionism deepened the cultural divisions between North and South - as when northern elites embraced evolution as a sign of sectional enlightenment while southern opponents defined themselves as the standard bearers of true Christianity. Evolution debates also exposed a deep gulf between conservative Black Christians and secular intellectuals such as W. E. B. DuBois. In addition, Moran explores the motives and methods of antievolutionism, and the ways in which the struggle has played out in the universities, on the internet, and even within the evangelical community. Throughout, Moran shows that evolution has served as a weapon, as an enforcer of identity, and as a polarizing force both within and without the churches.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52352128057617,"sku":"NLS9780195183498","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53405262446865,"sku":"CIN0195183495G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780195183498.jpg?v=1758181633"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jeffrey-p-moran.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
