This well-written, thoughtful series uses
international and historical perspectives to analyze
contemporary issues.
This set shows readers that the impact of world
issues is far more reaching and complex than the
phrase current events might imply.
VERDICT Primary purchases for teen collections,
especially those with a need for titles on international
a airs.
