Taking Sides

This collection is built around debate. Each chapter lays out a contested question of the day and presents opposing positions so readers can weigh the arguments for themselves. Every issue opens with a summary, followed by an introduction that frames the dispute, and closes with a postscript or a set of challenge questions that push readers to test their own conclusions.

The volume also points readers to a curated, annotated list of relevant websites for further research. Instructors have access to an online resource guide that includes test materials for each volume, along with a companion guide on using the series in the classroom.
