The Levay-Baldwin book is excellent, but it's a book about sexuality, not
love. Elaine Hatfield & Richard Rapson have a nice softcover book about
love and sex in cross-cultural perspective that could be used to supplement
the Levay-Baldwin book. The only thing really missing from it are the newer
findings about the neurobiology of love.

perspectives. University Press of America.

Looking for recommendations for a textbook for this course. I haven¨t
taught it for a few years.
Going by reputation alone (no more freebies for me, I'm afraid), I'd
think that the text by the neuroscientist Simon Levay with his co-author
Janice Baldwin is worth a look. It's called _Human Sexuality_ and Amazon
has it coming out in a new 3rd edition. Pricey, though.
