YASocial Issues Firsthand series.
These books present previously published essays about the subjects being addressed. Because the stories are so personal, readers may be able to put faces to the issues they hear about in the news. More context and information about the authors would be useful, and the unillustrated text is dense. Directories of organizations are appended. Reading list. Ind.
