[Averin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing book of primary source writings, the sort of giant reader professors would cobble together 20 or 30 years ago. Now they use links in whatever electronic platform their college uses, but copyright and other reasons limit how many articles get offered. From Montesquieu to Urvashi Vaid--who knew so many smart people wrote so well on sex?
