Reviews

Grade 9 Up?Comprehensive and extremely detailed, Gun Control is the culmination of 35 years of research. Kruschke's balanced approach to a controversial topic includes a broad variety of ways to view a volatile issue. Pertinent historical cases and laws, both Constitutional and state; biographical vignettes of seminal figures in the gun-control debate; a philosophical chronology from Plato to the present; and an annotated bibliography of print resources contribute to this useful tool for research projects. The dense, academic writing may be beyond some high school students, but the glossary is extensive and the many concise entries are easily located via the index. A positive addition to most libraries serving schools and teens.?Gail Richmond, San Diego Unified Schools, CA
