Each volume focuses on a specific issue and offers a variety of perspectives -- eyewitness accounts, governmental views, scientific analysis, newpaper and magazine accounts and many more -- to illuminate the issue.

Enhancing critical thinking skills, each At Issue volume is an excellent research tool to help readers understand current social issues and prepare reports."--Back cover
