Reviews
Gr 8 Up-This well-prepared, up-to-date text offers 20 differing opinions on Islam, organized into four categories-values, the status of women, terrorism, and U.S. policy. The book includes discussion questions and an extensive list of organizations, complete with addresses and Web sites. The opinions are extremely diverse, and there are apparent contradictions, which this series strives to point out. Unfortunately, attempting to read, understand, and analyze this information can lead to frustration on the part of teen readers. The print is clear and readable; however, the vocabulary is challenging and the glossary contains only select words related to Islam, and some differ in spelling from the text. There are several typos, and there is no map identifying Islamic nations referred to in the articles. Overall, though, this is a useful, thought-provoking collection that will spark much debate.-Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
