NEW BOOKS

Three new books that I have read recently that may interest you. (If you are from South Australia you may be able to check these out from the SHineSA resource centre.

The books are:
"The Vulva - anatomy, physiology, and pathology"
Edited by Miranda A. Farage and Howard Maibach
This book is a unique compilation of current research and information on the anatomy, physiology, toxicology, microbiology and diagnosis of the vulva and surrounding areas. One of the REALLY interesting things about this book is it examines differences in cultural, economic and hygienic practices from around the world.
Quite medical but interesting nontheless.

"The Science of Orgasm" By Barry R. Komisaruk, Carlos Beyer-Flores and Beverly Whipple.
This book is REALLY interesting. It tells you how and why orgasms happen, why they DON'T happen. How the brain produces orgasms, how ageing affects orgasm, the effects of street drugs, medication, hormones disorders and diseases. Have a read.

"Point Last Seen - a road to recovery after childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence" by Ricky Hunter
"Point Last Seen" is an intensely personal work. This is a true story of one woman's odyssey through three complex issues - childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence and mental illness.
This is HEAVY and rewarding. If you work with people that have been abused this will give you great insight.
