Review:
''The Physiology of Sex by Kenneth Walker is a classic scientific work that explores the biological and physiological aspects of human sexuality. Written by a distinguished London surgeon and Hunterian Professor, this Pelican Books edition (A71) presents a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the subject. Walker, who also had deep interests in philosophy, religion, Eastern literature, and social issues, brings a uniquely broad perspective to the topic. The book covers the physiological foundations of human reproduction, sexual health, and the biological processes underlying sexual function. Unlike many scientific texts, Walker's writing is both informative and engaging, making complex topics understandable for the lay reader. The Times Literary Supplement praised the book for offering 'not only sound scientific knowledge but a breadth of human experience and culture rather too rare in scientific writers.' This timeless work remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the science behind human sexuality, and it continues to be appreciated for its clarity, depth, and humanistic approach.''
