Pornography (Groundwork Guides Series)

by Debbie Nathan, Jane Springer (Editor)

Overview

"[The Groundwork Guides] are excellent books, mandatory for school libraries and the increasing body of young people prepared to take ownership of the situations and problems previous generations have left them." -- Globe and Mail

Pornography addresses a very important issue in a rational, analytical manner. Society tells us that we aren't supposed to look at pornography -- much less talk publicly about it -- but the Internet has created unprecedented access to porn over the last few years.

This book deals with pornography as a social issue, translating the best academic research into reader-friendly language.
