Editorial Reviews

Gr 5-8-Issues related to the topics are debated in a clear, concise manner. Each chapter begins with background information on the topic and continues with balanced sections that discuss the human rights and ethics involved. Colorful photographs and boxed information highlighted in red break up the texts. Each book ends with questions prompting readers to continue to do research and look at all sides of the controversy. The further-reading section includes a link to a list of Web sites that are updated regularly. Although similar to "Opposing Viewpoints" and "At Issue" (both Gale), "America Debates" is for a younger audience and will appeal to students who wish to have a brief overview of the issues debated in those series.-Denise Moore, O'Gorman Junior High School, Sioux Falls, SD Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
