Review
"One of the greatest successes of this book is to convince the reader that the meaning of the term [bisexuality] is decidedly not self-evident... Those who are curious and want to know about bisexuality without the triple X content will get a thorough and satisfying introduction. Students, scholars or anyone with an interest will also find the book is a source for further research... For the humanist or anyone interested in promoting a world that is accepting of plurality, reading this book is worth the effort."
-R. Dorling Rouse, "Humanist in Canada, Summer 2001
..."Merl Storr has combined theoretical and empirical writings on bisexuality from a variety of disciplines, resulting in an excellent source for examining not only the subject of bisexuality, but also the research itself.."
-Jessica Nathanson, University of Buffalo, August-December 2000
..."the collection is a worthwhile one, and would be quite useful for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses.."
