Zusammenfassung: Diplompsychologin Gisela Jaspersen informiert in ihrem Buch über die historische Einordnung von Prostitution, die verschiedenen Facetten der negativen Seiten des Prostitutionsgeschäfts und regt eine Neuorientierung in Bezug auf die heutigen Männerbilder an. Die Autorin möchte mit ihrem Buch in erster Linie die Männer erreichen, die als heterosexuelle Freier aktiv sind und sexuelle Leistungen von Mädchen und Frauen kaufen. Zugleich ist das Buch aber auch eine gute Zusammenstellung für Partnerinnen, Elternteile oder Jugendliche, die grundlegendes Wissen über Prostitution in Deutschland erfahren möchten.

Since the time of the ancient Greeks we have been fascinated by accounts of the Amazons, an elusive tribe of hard-fighting, horse-riding female warriors. Equal to men in battle, legends claimed they cut off their right breasts to improve their archery skills and routinely killed their male children to purify their ranks.0For centuries people believed in their existence and attempted to trace their origins. Artists and poets celebrated their battles and wrote of Amazonia. Spanish explorers, carrying these tales to South America, thought they lived in the forests of the world's greatest river, and named it after them.0In the absence of evidence, we eventually reasoned away their existence, concluding that these powerful, sexually liberated female soldiers must have been the fantastical invention of Greek myth and storytelling. Until now.0Following decades of new research and a series of groundbreaking archeological discoveries, we now know these powerful warrior queens did indeed exist. In 'Amazons', John Man travels to the grasslands of Central Asia, from the edge of the ancient Greek world to the borderlands of China, to discover the truth about the warrior women mythologized as Amazons.0In this deeply researched, sweeping historical epic, Man redefines our understanding of the Amazons and their culture, tracking the ancient legend into the modern world and examining its significance today
