• The Continuum Complete International Encyclopedia of Sexuality on the Web. Highlights the new, updated, and revised single-volume Continuum Complete International Encyclopedia of Sexuality (CCIES), which includes virtually the entire first four volumes of the acclaimed International Encyclopedia of Sexuality with many new countries and places covering every continent. Edited by Robert T. Francoeur, Ph.D., and Raymond J. Noonan, Ph.D., with 280 contributors, and published in 2004 by Continuum International Publishing Group. It includes my chapter on “Outer Space and Antarctica,” which highlights cross-cultural sexuality issues that will have an impact on the human future in space, based partly on my dissertation, as well as a new section on Antarctica and an introduction to life in extreme environments. Included in the volume also are my contributions to the Brazil and United States chapters, as well our coauthored conclusion: “Global Trends: Some Final Impressions.” Articles or updates in the U.S.A. chapter include: “Sexuality and Terrorism in the United States,” in which I suggest how sexuality factors may have partially contributed to the terrorist attacks on America and the impact that the war on terrorism has had on American sexuality, “Heterophobia: The Evolution of an Idea,” “False Accusations of Sexual Harassment and Rape,” “Gender Differences in Sex Research,” “Sexuality and American Popular Culture,” including an article on sexual expression in musical lyrics, a comment in “Clergy Sexual Abuse,” and “Lesbian Sexual Health Risks,” a last-minute update.
