The Overview Series provides a broad range of quality nonfiction for upper elementary and junior/senior high students. Each clearly written book offers an in-depth overview of the topic -- and each is specifically written to be used both for reports and for casual reading. Clear photographs, relevant illustrations, and provocative editorial cartoons lend visual appeal and hold reader interest.

"This book is certainly up-to-date, and presents in unbiased, well-reasoned discussion of the subject. There are copious notes and an equally list of books and other sources consulted, as well as contact information on organizations mentioned in the text."
-- School Library Journal (October 2001)
