Her inspiring memoir stretches from the faith of her childhood, in which she was “taught to look for the word in the Bible” to her revelation as an adult that “the word of God resides in each of us, it dwells among us, full of grace.” http://www.uua.org/skinner/5366.html print Firestein Beth A., editor invisibleminority.gif Thousand Oaks, CA Sage Publications 1996 354 pp. 0803972741 A landmark volume in the field, Bisexuality presents a state-of-the-art glimpse of what is known and what remains to be known about bisexuality. Editor Beth A. Firestein gathers together an impressive group of researchers, activists, educators, theorists, and clinicians to offer insight into this understudied sexual orientation. Written in a scholarly but accessible style, this noteworthy collection of essays provides a focused, comprehensive introduction to research, theory, and practical clinical knowledge about bisexuality. The contributors agree that, given recognition and validity, the study of bisexuality can extend what we know about sexual orientation and sexual identity as well as shed light on previously unexplored aspects of sexuality. This insightful volume explicates the emergence of bisexuality as a phenomenon requiring a paradigm shift in sexual-orientation studies and discusses the implications of this shift. Bisexuality makes accurate, high-quality information about the subject available to professionals and students in lesbian/gay studies, gender studies, sociology, family studies, and human sexuality. The book also brings current clinical perspectives together in a user-friendly volume for practitioners in social work and clinical/counseling psychology. http://www.sagepub.com/booksProdDesc.nav?prodId=Book5868 print Garber Marjorie New York Routledge 2000 608 pp. 0415926610 The world is flat. The sun revolves around the earth. Human beings are either heterosexual or homosexual. The first two myths have long been abandoned, but the third has awaited its Columbus or Copernicus. Until now. In this witty, learned, and scrupulously researched book, Marjorie Garber examines bisexuality and its many modes through a dazzling variety of critical lenses: cultural, literary, and psychological. Bisexuality is a monumental inquiry into what "normal" might mean, and just how difficult it is to make claims about sexuality-someone else's or one's own. Whether you're curious or seriously interested, a lay reader or a student of sexuality or gender, Bisexuality is a book you will have to have. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0415926610/102-5522310-2838527 print Hutchins Loraine Lani Kaahamanu editors bianyothername.jpg Los Angeles Alyson Publications 1991 408 pp. 1555831745 “Rejected by both gay and straight worlds, bisexuals have been a community in exile.
