Book Description
The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs in Childhood, Youth, Adult Age, and Advanced Life is a title authored by surgeon William Acton. This work provides readers with the opportunity to immerse themselves in some of the early medical literature about the reproductive organs. The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs is divided into four sections, each of which is handled separately. The periods of childhood, youth, adulthood, and advanced age are all distinctly profiled in this work. Each section examines the reproductive organs of both men and women, and provides commentary on both normal functions and common disorders observed during the specific phase of life. An additional section is also included discussing the sexual act, its physiology, and possible disorders. Acton's book is explicitly not about the pathology and anatomy of the reproductive organs. William Acton's work is detailed and well researched. This is a thorough examination of the subject matter that leaves little unaddressed. However, as with many medical texts from the nineteenth century, the reader will encounter some information that has since been proven to be incorrect. The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs serves as a good reminder of how much progress has been made in terms of understanding the human body. The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs in Childhood, Youth, Adult Age, and Advanced Life is a text that will appeal to the serious student of sexual health that is interested in learning about the evolution of research into the topic, or anybody keenly interested in the subject matter.

Book Description
As anyone who has watched television in recent years can attest, we live in the age of Viagra. From Bob Dole to Mike Ditka to late-night comedians, our culture has been engaged in one long, frank, and very public talk about impotence—and our newfound pharmaceutical solutions. But as Angus McLaren shows us in Impotence, the first cultural history of the subject, the failure of men to rise to the occasion has been a recurrent topic since the dawn of human culture. Drawing on a dazzling range of sources from across centuries, McLaren demonstrates how male sexuality was constructed around the idea of potency, from times past when it was essential for the purpose of siring children, to today, when successful sex is viewed as a component of a healthy emotional life. Along the way, Impotence enlightens and fascinates with tales of sexual failure and its remedies—for example, had Ditka lived in ancient Mesopotamia, he might have recited spells while eating roots and plants rather than pills—and explanations, which over the years have included witchcraft, shell-shock, masturbation, feminism, and the Oedipal complex. McLaren also explores the surprising political and social effects of impotence, from the revolutionary unrest fueled by Louis XVI’s failure to consummate his marriage to the boost given the fledgling American republic by George Washington’s failure to found a dynasty. Each age, McLaren shows, turns impotence to its own purposes, using it to help define what is normal and healthy for men, their relationships, and society. From marraige manuals to metrosexuals, from Renaissance Italy to Hollywood movies, Impotence is a serious but highly entertaining examination of a problem that humanity has simultaneously regarded as life’s greatest tragedy and its greatest joke.
