About this title

From Booklist

Since its first titles were released more than 25 years ago, the Opposing Viewpoints series has set a standard for its comprehensive coverage of the arguments surrounding society’s most controversial issues. The format remains somber and plain: graphs, charts, and occasional political cartoons provide the only illustration on the black-and-white pages. Newer titles in the series continue the familiar structure: articles and excerpts from a wide range of periodicals are grouped into themed chapters, each titled with a provocative question that encourages in-depth discussion. The chapters in Birth Control, for example, move from broad inquiries (“How does birth control affect society?”) to specific topics: Should the government fund sex education? Questions for further discussion, bibliographies, and lists of organizations to contact complete these titles that confirm the series’ high-watermark reputation as an exemplary student resource for research and debate. Grades 7-12. --Gillian Engberg
