YA
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
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.
