School Library Journal Review

Gr 8 Up‘Some experts believe that some of today's social trends have negative effects on the family, while others argue that such fears are exaggerated. This title provides articles and essays from a variety of previously printed sources to look at both sides of the debate. The selections examine the state of the family, how divorce-law reforms and work-related policies have affected it, adoption policies, and how public policy and values impact upon it. Each chapter begins with a preface that summarizes the topic and the opposing viewpoints. Following are articles that present different sides of each issue written by experts in the field and/or people who have experienced the situation under discussion. A supplementary periodical bibliography is appended to each section. The selections are well chosen, clearly written, and thought-provoking. Appendixes include questions for further discussion, a listing of organizations to contact, a bibliography of related books, and a comprehensive index. A welcome resource for reports, debate preparation, and general interest.‘Dana McDougald, Cedar Shoals High School, Athens, GA (c) Copyright 2010.
