Grade 7 Up—These titles pose serious questions and present many facts to help students develop critical-thinking and debating skills. Students are encouraged to form opinions based on credible information and reliable sources, remaining open minded and considerate of the evidence, and to be aware of bias, before taking a position. The authors examine actual cases, information both historical and current, evidence, statistics, etc., regarding the pros and cons of the topics. Chapters in Civil Rights give a brief history and then explore legal reform, public education, voting rights, discrimination in popular culture, stereotyping, and looking at the circumstances of Hurricane Katrina and de facto segregation. In Genetic Research, an introductory page on genetics precedes a review of how to develop skills for arriving at a solid argument. Other chapters seek to explain how genetic research impacts health, research, crime, agriculture, and individuals and society. In Athletes, questions revolve around steroid use, testing, accidental and purposeful use, and dangers of the drugs. Color and black-and-white photos complement the information in all three books, as do the numerous text boxes, tables, and quotes.—Susan Shaver, Hemingford Public Schools, NE
