Young people today have more access to information about current events than ever before. As such, they often have more questions about the world around them. What's censorship? What's war? Who are environmental activists? These are just a few of the questions readers discover the answers to with the help of age-appropriate text. Helpful graphic organizers and full-color photographs guide readers through these explorations of timely topics. With a strong focus on facts rather than fear or sensationalism, each volume is objectively presented to allow readers to form their own opinions.
