|  | Homosexuality of Men & Women by Magnus Hirschfeld, Michael A. Lombardi-Nash, Vern L. Bullough
Opening with a definition and a detailed biological discussion of sexual orientation, including the childhood and adolescent phases, Hirschfeld addresses the physical, mental, and emotional life of homosexuals while explaining the inborn nature of homosexuality and bisexuality. In the second half of the book, Hirschfeld looks at sociology, community life, bonding, roles in society, history, persecution, victimization, and the law. His documentation of gays in the military and the new technology of his day -- such as the telephone and airplanes and their effect on the lives of homosexuals -- offers farsighted observations that strongly parallel today`s national debates and new developments.
