Gr 8 Up—Teens researching contemporary topics will find a lot of useful information in these volumes. Covering both evergreen topics and more recent events (Brexit), the authors have compiled a number of essays that tackle multiple, nuanced viewpoints related to the titular topic. For example, the "Historical Background" chapter in The Armenian Genocide features pieces on the history of the Armenian people, the Adana Massacres, and more. The text in AIDS and Other Killer Viruses and Other Pandemics is rather technical and will likely resonate more with students who have a strong science background. In all of the titles, the chapters are richly written and will challenge even sophisticated readers.
VERDICT Debaters and deep thinkers will benefit most from this series.
