Review Quotes




If the Today's Headlines series feels familiar, that's because it's a refreshed and updated version of 12-Story Library's 2016 series, Turning Points in US History. Though it follows the same general structure of highlighting 12 main points about a given topic, the text has been edited to a lower reading level (fourth grade) and updated with new stats and facts. The crisp design features large, eye-catching photos and diagrams, sidebars, and critical-thinking prompts. The topics are timely, and readers will get a good sense of the subjects' breadth if not their depth, making them good first-stops on a student's learning or research journey. Climate Change presents many facets of this phenomenon, from contributing factors (deforestation, increases in greenhouse gases) to scientific evidence (rising temperatures and sea levels, more extreme weather) to steps people can take to slow its progression. Global Immigration considers push (war, natural disasters) and pull (job opportunities, better education) factors that lead to human migration, as well as challenges migrants face. Political Parties leads with history, filling in readers on the origins of political parties in the U.S., the general ideals major (and some third) parties encompass today, and the roles they play in elections. Water Access dives into difficulties people face in procuring clean, safe water, highlighting such causes as population increase and climate change.
