The Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex: What You Must Know to Be Sexually Literate

3 reviews
June Machover Reinisch

St Martins Mass Market Paper, 1994

informative and well compiled
I must admit that I never heard about Kinsey and Kinsey Institute before watching the movie. At first I was intrigued by topics listed in table of contest and decided to buy the book. To my great surprise I got much more and I really mean a much more that I expected. Sex is always considered taboo and I think that is a very bad thing and this book will show you why. Just to give you small ...

In the Language of Loons
Natalie Kinsey-Warnock

Dutton Juvenile, 1998

Sometimes a summer can make all the difference. Friendless, awkward Arlis was humiliated daily by his classmates. Once, toward the end of the school year, they even forced him to eat a worm sandwich! Then came the summer. Who could have known that staying at Grandpa and Grandma's farm would change Arlis forever? It must have been the loons. During their sleepy summer days spent fishing at the lake, Grandpa teaches Arlis all about the rare birds ...

"B" is for Burglar (The Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries)

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2005

Another Winner for Grafton
This book was hard to put down once I started reading it. The characters are well developed and the depth of description of locales is amazing. Having visited Santa Barbara, I can almost see the places that Kinsey speaks of when speaking of "Santa Teresa". Very enjoyable reading.

The Bear That Heard Crying

Dutton Juvenile, 1993

This is a fabulous book to be shared with generations!
This was one of my favorite books as a child. It left such an impact, that I checked it out from the library dozens of times. I remembered it as simply "Sarah's Story," and initially had difficulty finding it in our local library. This is among our favorite family books, one that I look forward to sharing with future generations. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is told ...

"G" is for Gumshoe (The Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries)

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007

Loved it
I've read all of this series in the past month or so and have loved each and every one of them. I finished the last one that I have (S is for Silence) a few days ago and am longing to read T - Z. I miss the characters as I feel as though they have become my family and friends! I will be so sad when Ms Grafton stops writing about Kinsey and her cases.

Alfred C. Kinsey: A Life

James H. Jones

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Kinsey As Lucifer -- Well Worth The Effort
Alfred Kinsey is a hero to everyone who believes in what Kinsey called sexual variation -- the notion that sexuality is deep, broad, somewhat ungovernable, highly individualized, difficult to judge and a fundamental expression of one's self. For these folks, Kinsey outed all of us (and high time, too), opening a healthy and necessary global discussion on sexual preference, choice and ...

Carol Kinsey Goman

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2008

Great book for any professional.
This book was found by luck at a bookstore, it has been one of the greatest books I have read on Body Language and communication. I think it can help any sales people or public speaker. It cover every possible body position and body part, includes many pictures to see what they are speaking about. Overall very good...

Sexual Behavior in the Human Male

3 reviews
Alfred Charles Kinsey, Wardell B. Pomeroy, ...

Indiana University Press, 1998

A CLASSIC Read
Recent attempts to discredit Kinsey originally drove me to read Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. I'm not a scientist and was worried about Kinsey's accessibility. But like Freud, he is a great writer with an empathic style. Kinsey builds a lyrical momentum that carries the reader to each new chapter. By actually reading the book many histrionic notions about Kinsey's work are exposed as just ...

T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)

175 reviews
Sue Grafton

Putnam Adult, 2007

Suited me to a "T"
In this, her 20th Kinsey Milhone novel, the author serves notice that she intends to do more in finishing her alphabet challenge than just publish by rote. I was a little afraid, when the series hit its "P's & Q's", that the lukewarm plotlines and supporting characters would carry on ad infinitum. "S" helped restore my faith, and in "T", her newest, Grafton gives Kinsey a villain in the ...

A Farm of Her Own

Dutton Juvenile, 2001

A Farm of Her Own
My three year old loves this book--and so does my nine year old, who reads it to him. They both relate to the idea of encountering something new and coming to love it so much that, years later, you want to find it again. The beautiful, rich illustrations are a large part of the appeal of the book.

M Is for Malice (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)

76 reviews
Sue Grafton

Fawcett, 1997

Private Investigator Kinsey Milhone is fun to read about even for guys
M is for Malice certainly describes the unjust murder of a multimillionaires son Guy Malek. There are three other siblings still in the will and all of them become suspects to PI Kinsey Milhone. The investigative work is a little bit tedious but that just makes the book seem more like authentic PI life.

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 1995

A look at our past through the camera of a genius.
The genius of Darius and Tabitha Kinsey becomes clear early on in this book. Mr. Kinsey roamed the Pacific Northwest, visiting logging camps and homesteads to photograph the people there. All photographs are make on glass plates ranging in size from 8"x10" to 20"X24". Plates were shipped back to Tabitha who would develop them and make prints which Darius would sell to the subjects. On one level, ...

Sledding on Hospital Hill: Poems
Leland Kinsey

David R Godine, 2003

In this new collection by a poet whom Edward Hoagland called the genuine article, we find work that is grounded in its chosen territory (Vermont's Northeast Kingdom) and that speaks to us clearly and directly. Kinsey is a poet of both place and people. In a voice that is at times gritty, confessional, humorous, and reflective (and always clear), he takes on real events and invests them with universal meaning. In a time when much poetry has ...

Indiana University Press, 1998

Mr. Tarbell - Get Your Facts Straight
It is rather obvious from reading Mr. Tarbell's misguided review that he either a: a right-wing fundamentalist with issues about his own sexuality or b: he never took a course on human sexuality in college or c: he doesn't know anything about the life and work of Dr. Kinsey or d: all of the above. Making statements that equate Dr. Kinsey to a pedophile are both misguided and patently false. ...

The Immigrant's Contract
Leland Kinsey

David R. Godine, Publisher, 2008

In this new collection of linked poems, Leland Kinsey oVers another installment of his moving and powerful narrative verse. Arriving in the United States by horse-and-carriage as a child, the main character of this sequence embodies the cultural transformation that so many American families have endured. Kinsey's verse details the struggle of the twentieth century - a chronicle of displacement, work, and transformation - in bold, crisp detail. ...
