Gr 7 Up—These well-written titles will be great starting points for students doing research or good sources for teens wanting to learn about these timely topics. The authors offer comprehensive overviews of the topics, but the texts are laden with jargon and subject-specific vocabulary, despite the publisher's "High/Low" designations. The books include many photos and sidebars as well as excellent and accessible further-reading suggestions and bibliographies. These titles will support many types of assignments.—Esther Keller, I.S. 278, Marine Park, NY
This useful hi-lo volume addresses the timely topic of America's economic recession. Beginning with the housing boom that peaked in 2006, Brezina discusses predatory lending and other causes, then government efforts to combat recession. She also addresses topics such as foreclosure and unemployment, concluding with possible patterns of recovery. Good organization, clear writing, captioned photos, and sidebars deliver the information cleanly. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
