Reviews

The authors of these books attempt to give a balanced view of the debate on the issues covered. The goal is to provide the reader with straightforward information on both sides of the issue so the reader will be able to form his or her own opinion based on objective data about whether to support or oppose the topic. Each volume is a visual delight, replete with colored graphics and photographs. Throughout each book are brief articles and quotes from USA TODAY about the issue. This would be an first-rate series for school library media centers looking for materials to give a balanced view of controversial topics. If the other books in the series are as good as these two, then it would be a valuable addition to libraries wanting to show both sides of controversial issues facing American society today. Recommended. --Library Media Connection --Journal
