(4) 4-6 Savvy: Behind the Glamour series. The information in this upbeat and encouraging book will be useful to those interested in a career in fashion; "At a Glance" details include the basics of the job, education/background you'll need, courses and internships, and salary ranges (which may soon be outdated). The spotlights on real professionals would have benefited from more documentary photos instead of stock images. Reading list.

(4) YA Issues in Society series. Each volume opens with an introduction explaining the title issue. After presenting facts, current statistics, and research, the authors then delve deeper into issues such as the role of video games in violent or addictive behaviors; each book's final chapter explores possible ways to resolve or mitigate problems. Color photos and occasional "Viewpoint" sections add interest to the dense prose and dull, textbook-like layouts. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers the following Issues in Society titles: Do Police Abuse Their Powers?, Are Mobile Devices Harmful?, Are Video Games Harmful?, and Is Social Media Good for Society?.
