YAIn Controversy series.
Topical issues are framed as debates, with chapter headings posed as provocative questions to drive reader interest. The books provide superficial coverage of various scientific and legal concepts interspersed with popular opinions and anecdotes; Climate Change in particular overstates the opposition to maintain its consider-all-sides format. The texts are complemented by photos, sidebars, and a fact summary following each chapter. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these In Controversy titles: How Serious a Threat Is Climate Change? and Is Offshore Oil Drilling Worth the Risks?.
