Grade 8 Up—Four general sections, each of which contains six primary-source essays, address rights, treatments, and care; the ADA, institutions, and capital punishment; education, funding, and inclusion; and technology, surgical procedures, and genetic testing. These are clearly topics for the 21st century, and there are many 21st-century solutions included. However, to give historical perspective, some articles/essays date back to 1915 (a Chicago Tribune interview), and other reports come from post-World War II writings. An introduction to each article describes the qualifications of the author and the general theme of the article, so students can quickly see whether these sections are relevant to their needs. An excellent resource.—Linda Beck, Indian Valley Public Library, Telford, PA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
