“The At Issue series, for grades 10-12, provides a range of opinions on specific social issues, excerpted from online and print articles and speeches by government officials, journalists, doctors, professors, and others. The introduction to each book provides background on the issue and the brief, relatively up-to-date articles are helpfully prefaced by paragraph-long summaries, making the volumes even handier for students doing reports.” – KLIATT, September
