Should marijuana use be legalized? Is the diamond trade an asset or a liability? Does legalized gambling increase revenue or social dangers? Brief introductions and histories of the featured debates are followed by thorough descriptions of key opposing positions. Dry but informative texts combine with photographs and detail-rich (but page-crowding) sidebars to offer balanced discussions. Appended "Essential Facts" bullets provide talking points. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Essential Viewpoints titles: The Diamond Trade, Legalizing Marijuana, and Legalized Gambling.
