(4) YA Global Organizations series. These books highlight the interconnectedness of the modern world, focusing on governmental organizations and international associations. Readers will gain insight into today's oil, energy, and banking crises (though the information isn't up-to-the-minute) and learn about governmental challenges. The writing is dry, but some personal stories and well-captioned photographs enliven the texts. There are four other fall 2008 books in this series. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind. Review includes these Global Organizations titles: The African Union, The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, The International Atomic Energy Agency, and The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
