(4) YA In Controversy series. Topical issues are framed as debates, with chapter headings posed as provocative questions to drive reader interest.

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?.
