Headlines!
America's twenty-four hour news cycle generates a constant barrage of information. As a result, today's young people are fully enabled to know current events, more so than any generation to come before them. These much-needed books will benefit students seeking a way to make sense of the events behind the headlines, providing them with the tools they need to fully engage with today's pressing issues. Comprehensive and engrossing, each book is filled with in-depth analysis, solid facts, and fascinating background information. Sidebars and an extensive resource section provide additional information for readers interested in exploring each subject further. Full color photographs are illustrative without being lurid or sensational, and serve to draw the reader into the world of the topic.
