Throughout the debate over how - and if - AIDS education should be taught to school age children, teachers who want to bring the subject of AIDS into their classroom have had few, if any, resources to guide them. This work responds to the need for AIDS education material with a practice-based, interactive curriculum that should enable teachers to effectively educate students about the risk of AIDS and HIV infection. It begins with a discussion of how teachers can create an environment of support for an AIDS education programme. Recognizing that AIDS education must differ for students of different age groups, the text presents tailored, age-appropriate material - what and how teachers should communicate AIDS information to young children, older children and teenage students. It also addresses actual methods teachers can use to influence their students' attitudes and behaviour by helping them to recognize problem situations in which risks might arise, and presenting them with the actual skills they need to protect themselves in such situations.

Too Hot to Handle is the first truly international history of sex education. As Jonathan Zimmerman shows, the controversial subject began in the West and spread steadily around the world over the past century. As people crossed borders, however, they joined hands to block sex education from most of their classrooms. Examining key players who supported and opposed the sex education movement, Zimmerman takes a close look at one of the most debated and divisive hallmarks of modern schooling. In the early 1900s, the United States pioneered sex education to protect citizens from venereal disease. But the American approach came under fire after World War II from European countries, which valued individual rights and pleasures over social goals and outcomes. In the so-called Third World, sex education developed in response to the deadly crisis of HIV/AIDS. By the early 2000s, nearly every country in the world addressed sex in its official school curriculum. Still, Zimmerman demonstrates that sex education never won a sustained foothold: parents and religious leaders rejected the subject as an intrusion on their authority, while teachers and principals worried that it would undermine their own tenuous powers. Despite the overall liberalization of sexual attitudes, opposition to sex education increased as the century unfolded. Into the present, it remains a subject without a home. Too Hot to Handle presents the stormy development and dilemmas of school-based sex education in the modern world.

The myth that sex does not exist in Ireland has been shattered. Sex is no longer hidden behind close doors. The Catholic Church's monopoly over sexual morality has been broken. Sex has become part of everyday social life. It is written and talked about and regularly displayed in film and television.

A new programme of Relationships and Sexuality Education has been introduced into Irish schools. The aim is to help young people learn about themselves, their relationships and what it is to be sexual. The programme has become a controversial issue. Is it an unnecessary intrusion into the private life of the family, or is it too little too late? Lessons in Irish Sexuality provides a clear, easily read, analysis of the issues involved in teaching young people about sexuality. It describes the deep divisions that exist in the way Irish people see, understand and relate to sex. At the heart of the problem is an older generation trying to teach a younger generation about issues and problems which they, as adults, are only coming to terms with themselves.
