About this title

Review

"Balanced overviews of complex, divisive issues. Though not exhaustive, these titles include the topic's history and most salient points in an accessible and reader-friendly format...Color images enhance the texts, and charts and maps further clarify the content. Sidebars expand on related topics through quotes, primary-source snippets, and other salient information, while marbled page borders lend a scholarly air to the attractive layouts. A four-page time line with color photos, a thorough glossary, and an 'Essential Facts' feature with critical dates and quotes are also noteworthy. These impressive works are welcome alternatives to collection staples..."
