      Grades 7-12 For students who need reliable and concise research sources on controversial topics, these volumes in the Special Reports series offer great options. Accompanied by color photos, graphs, and charts, each book starts its discussion with a recent news story that draws attention to the issue and continues with an overview of the controversy at hand. Subsequent chapters give a historical background and address multiple points of view. Gun Control and the Second Amendment describes the problems with interpreting what the Founding Fathers meant in the Second Amendment, the rise of the NRA, and numerous reasons both for and against gun control. The titles conclude by considering the future of each topic. Sidebars, numerous media stories, and extensive back matter extend the value of the series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
