YA
20th Century Issues series.
These books maintain an international focus and an optimistic outlook in their coverage of five long-standing social-justice issues. The series' primary interest is humanity, not ideas, a fact reinforced by the wealth of photos of people affected by each issue. Scattered throughout are boxed "key moments," as well as opinions, drawings, and propaganda posters that comment on the topic at hand. Bib., glos., ind.

This evenhanded introduction to medical ethics explores and compares prevailing attitudes in the United States and abroad regarding such controversial topics as abortion, genetic manipulation, euthanasia, and organ transplants. The efficient prose, expert and lay testimonies, and pertinent color and black-and-white photos will stimulate thought in adolescent and adult readers alike. Bib., glos., ind.
