First published in 1968, Sex and Society presents and analyses the
code of sexual behaviour based on the universal use of
contraceptive methods. It includes discussion of all forms of
sexual activity, and emphasises in particular the attitudes that
should be adopted in sex education. Backed up by case histories,
and including details of reforms in abortion and homosexual law,
this book sheds light on a topic which continues to cause concern
in modern times. The author had been in active contact with all
kinds of sexual problems for over thirty years in her professional
clinic practice, and in her travels in India, Poland and Denmark
teaching contraceptive techniques to doctors and nurses. Her
experience as a Founder Member of the International Planned
Parenthood Federation and participation in all the International
and Regional Conferences gave her a very wide knowledge of sexual
and social problems throughout the world. This book will be of
interest to students of medicine, sexuality studies, psychology,
gender studies, and health.
Due to its vulnerability to a wide variety of climate change
impacts, Bangladesh has become a laboratory for adaptation and
resilience strategies in the developing world. The knowledge shared

complex context of this country is an invaluable resource. The
International Centre for Climate Change and Development has brought
together a host of experts across multiple disciplines to provide a
detailed look at Bangladesh's ongoing struggle to prepare for the
inevitable threats that climate change poses. This volume presents
public policy-oriented strategies across numerous sectors,
including agriculture, freshwater management, forests, finance,
human rights, health systems, flood control, infrastructure, solar
energy, and more. Successes and shortcomings both provide useful
lessons for other countries grappling with similar climate threats.
This book offers the latest research findings for a wider audience.
