About the Author:
Trevor Barnes is an award winning presenter of many BBC Television documentaries on the subject of religion, as well as BBC World Service news broadcasts, radio shows, and live chat shows. He is also the author of several books including Archaeology in the Kingfisher Knowledge series, The Wounded City, a book about the people of Belfast, Northern Ireland, and a biography of Terry Waite, Man With A Mission.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 5-8–These books were originally published in one volume–The Kingfisher Book of Religions (1999)–with material added on ancient religions and traditional beliefs. Hinduism crams six Eastern religions into 29 pages of text and is totally unacceptable, with glaring omissions. The three other titles actually expand on their original entries, with varying results; in Judaism it leads to unnecessary repetition, while Christianity and Islam make better use of the additional space. The books are visually attractive, with eye-catching covers, but that is one of their few strengths. Maps are absent or inadequate. Not all unusual or new terms used in the text are found in the glossaries, and many definitions are inadequate and confusing. Corresponding titles in Geoff Teece's Religion in Focus series (Smart Apple, 2004) are practical and appealing but have a British bias and sometimes awkward writing; Sue Penney's World Beliefs and Cultures series (Heinemann Library, 2000) are comprehensive but stodgily written.–Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
