Std'S: What You Don'T Know Can (Twenty-First Century Medical Library) by Diane Yancey |
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 6 Up-These questions were collected from middle school and high school students, and the answers offer readers solid information, organized into chapters that include "21 Questions Young Men Ask," "22 Questions Young Women Ask," and "22 Questions About Wrongs and Risks." Brynie emphasizes abstinence as the only sure way of avoiding STDs and pregnancies, but also gives detailed information on contraception. AIDS and HIV are mentioned, but cited as subjects too big for adequate treatment here. The matter-of-fact style is never condescending or alarmist in tone; the author emphasizes sexuality as an integral part of human life, and urges young adults to make wise choices, armed with the facts. Explicit black-and-white illustrations lend an almost clinical touch, further moving sexuality away from myths and mistakes. Ruth Bell's Changing Bodies, Changing Lives (Crown, 1998) has a longer treatment of sexuality and includes information on relationships, general body issues, and social situations. The glossary; resource list of books, articles, and Web sites; and extensive citations make Brynie's title good for reports, while the directness of the presentation will appeal to general readers.
