Editorial Reviews

04/01/2016
Gr 10 Up—Using a "From the Headlines" approach, this series explores several current news topics and analyzes them in relation to current, past, and future events. There is a range of topics, some of which are considered contentious or controversial, but the authors approach them from multiple viewpoints with sensitivity, balance, and impartiality. The topics are well-researched and indexed; additional resources, footnotes, and extended source notes are provided. These are relatively dense volumes, but the text is clear and accessible. The use of boxes, charts, and color photos successfully adds information while providing relief from the formal text. VERDICT Beneficial for research projects, but also useful for general interest reading and to encourage critical thinking about complicated issues.
