Hope this may be of interest to some list members, apologies for any cross-posting:
The Age of Consent: Young People, Sexuality and Citizenship, my book originally published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2005, has just been published in paperback.
Full details including comments from book reviews, detailed contents, a sample chapter and related newspaper articles are available on the UK Palgrave Macmillan website at:
http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=376926
'A subtle and original book that is bound to shake up preconceived ideas
- of every kind - about the origin and nature of age of consent laws.
Presenting the reader with a wealth of surprising information, the book challenges us to consider young people as sexual citizens requiring both empowerment and safety.' - Carole S. Vance, Columbia University, USA
This text can be ordered as an e-book for libraries.
