(4) YA Introducing Islam series. Eight volumes recount Islam's history, explore its spiritual tenets, and discuss connections and conflicts between Islam and other faiths and cultures.

There's volume-to-volume repetition, but overall the series offers a comprehensive overview. Relevant photos and reproductions appear throughout. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Introducing Islam titles: Who Are the Muslims?, What Muslims Think and How They Live, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, Heroes and Holy Places, The American Encounter with Islam, Muslims and the West, Islam, and Islamic Fundamentalism.
