Series Review: In the News
"This hi/lo series leaps right into its subjects without the usual introduction and conclusion sections that can sometimes deter reluctant readers. To the point and with bite-size chapters, these titles effectively address sometimes-complicated subjects in a way that is both informative and accessible to all readers...The topics are current, and attractive color photos keep text-only pages to a minimum. A helpful, "For More Information" section provides relevant institutional and organizational contact information."
