YA
21st Century Debates series.
Water-supply issues in both the developed and developing worlds are addressed in one book, giving readers a global perspective on the problem. Unfortunately, the design is a hindrance to learning--multiple "Fact," "Viewpoint," and "Debate" boxes containing random information hold up the narrative--but the color photos and direct, readable prose serve the topic well. Reading list. Glos., ind.

21st Century Debates series.
This global look at public health covers both Third World and First World issues, allowing readers to examine problems in a worldwide context. The busy design, featuring "Fact," "Viewpoint," and "Debate" information boxes--sometimes three or four per spread--and the lengthy captions to the plentiful color photos interrupt the narrative's flow, but the text itself is straightforward and articulate. Reading list. Glos., ind.

21st Century Debates series.
The effects of global debt on poverty, health, and the environment in the Third World, and its ramifications in the First World, are covered in this thought-provoking volume. Although the design is cluttered with sharp, varied color photos and numerous "Fact," "Debate," and "Viewpoint" sidebars, the information is well conveyed. Reading list. Glos., ind.

YA
21st Century Debates series.
Examining both the different types of artificial intelligence and their potential applications, this book gives readers a broad grounding in the field. A busy design, with intrusive "Fact," "Debate," and "Viewpoint" sidebars, detracts from the narrative flow, but the straightforward prose and sharp color photos are informative. Reading list, directory, websites. Glos., ind.
