Title: Interesting thesis, but redundant to the point of boredom.
Review: Small has an interesting thesis, but I found the book to be quite redundant, restating the same information over and over again in several chapters. In some cases the information changed when restated. As a scientist Small should be ashamed that she confuses millimeters (a measure of distance) with milliliters (a measure of volume) when discussing the amount of semen ejaculated. Her discussion of AIDS is also poorly done. For a book published in 1995, it is out of date on epidemiological and risk factor information. For example she fails to even mention that HIV can be transmitted through vaginal secretions and breast milk. In summary, I found this book very disappointing and would not recommend it.
