Gr 9 Up—Each volume opens with a short chapter outlining the history of the subject under consideration followed by "Debate at a Glance" sections that outline the arguments and suggesting reading questions. Within succeeding chapters, pro and con arguments are presented as though given by a debater; however, a few deploy fallacious reasoning, with some being outright harmful. For example, a section in Slave Trade presents arguments made by white Europeans to justify slavery but never examines white supremacy or racism in depth. While the design is text-heavy, illustrations such as stock and news photos, reproductions of paintings, and colorful maps are used effectively throughout. Extensive source notes are included.
VERDICT Libraries where inquiry-based learning is being practiced can select as needed, keeping in mind the above caveats.
