Description: Rachel P. Maines reviews 'Sex the Measure of All Things: A Life of Alfred C. Kinsey' by Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy.
A fresh look at the man whose studies started the sex revolution. Illustrated. 513 pp. Bloomington: Indiana University Press. $39.95. lfred C. Kinsey would probably be flattered if he knew what a controversial figure he still is nearly half a century after his death. Or perhaps he would just be frustrated and annoyed that he still doesn't have his own listing in the Dictionary of Scientific Biography. Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy's ''Sex the Measure of All Things'' is the second major biography of Indiana's most notorious biologist to appear in three years. James Jones's dense and highly critical ''Alfred C. Kinsey: A Public/Private Life'' appeared in 1997, arguing that Kinsey's homosexuality and sado-masochistic bent so distorted his motivations and methodology that neither his data nor his conclusions can be trusted. Gathorne-Hardy's account, on the other hand, is unabashedly admiring, a sympathetic, insightful and highly readable story.
