Reviews

Bound to spark intense discussion, some of the viewpoints in these titles in the At Issue: Social Issues series are so extreme that it’s hard to see why they are given equal voice. But the authoritative answers, along with individual profiles as well as statistics and scientific evidence, will help readers confront the hot social issues and analyze the data behind the rhetoric and, in some cases, propaganda. In AIDS in Developing Countries, the arguments for abstinence may convince some readers, but there is little scientific support for the diatribes against vaccines and condoms and for the claims that the epidemic statistics have been grossly exaggerated. Each title includes an extensive list of organizations to contact and a bibliography of books and articles. Grades 10-12. --Hazel Rochman
