From School Library Journal
Gr 6-10-Using a variety of quoted sources to introduce alternative points of view, this set covers controversial subjects that are of concern to today's readers, e.g., social media, economic recession, the environment, etc. Each book contains visually appealing sidebars, captioned color photos, and bright, crisp graphics that balance and/or complement the informative, compact texts. "The Debate" text boxes present scientific and moral ideas, dilemmas, and quandaries. Final "You're the Expert" spreads ask readers to take stands on the featured subjects using the information they've read to inform their decisions. Modification is the strongest of the bunch; it explores the history of genetic modification as well as the complex topics scientists, politicians, and the public must ponder, such as animal cloning and world hunger. Despite some typos, this set would be a strong addition to both library and classroom shelves. α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

hardcover. Condition: Fine. Our Like New books are generally New, but we do not have an invoice from publishers therefore have to list as Like New rather than New. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
