(4) YA Ideas of the Modern World series. This book starts with a definition and then proceeds to take an in-depth look at the development over the centuries of both Christian and Islamic fundamentalism. The volume clearly delineates the movements and gives brief mention of influential figures in them; numerous sidebars, captioned photos, and reproduced art interrupt the flow of the text but make the book accessible to browsers. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
