Each article gives substantial background as well as current analysis of the issue as well as useful pedagogical features to inspire critical thinking and to help students grasp and review key material:

• A Pro/Con box that examines two competing sides of a single question
• A detailed chronology of key dates and events
• An annotated bibliography and Web resources
• Outlook sections that address possible regulation and initiatives from Capitol Hill and the White House over the next 5 to 10 years
