Take Hot Topics to the next level
Lucent Books®’s Hot Topics appeals to middle and high school students. Current headlines remind students that new Pandemics could arrive in their yard at any time. And walking down their halls is a reminder that their classmates are part of Overweight America. The immediate relevancy of these Hot Topics and many others make this colorful new series prime material for student research. Supporting multidisciplinary studies, the titles in Hot Topics objectively explore important political, social, cultural, economic, moral, historical and environmental issues. From Student’s Rights and Gay Rights to Biological Warfare, every book in the colorful series inspires critical thought. Meaning is fleshed out through a clear presentation of context. Arguments are situated historically and a spectrum of issues concerning the topic is presented. The clear narrative includes compelling examples and is enlivened by pertinent quotes from age-appropriate sources. Consistent with the tone and subject matter of Greenhaven Press®’s Introducing Issues with Opposing Viewpoints series, Hot Topics offers a solid new breed of high-quality, issuesoriented titles.
