Gr 10 Up--A lively and varied collection of magazine and newspaper articles, book excerpts, and speeches about family-violence issues. Such topics as child abuse, abusive parenting, verbal battering, spanking, violence against women, sexual abuse, abuse of the elderly, domestic violence against gays, as well as other pertinent themes are explored by a wide range of writers and public health professionals. The well-organized format includes article summaries, short quotes in boldface throughout, and an extensive list of educational, counseling, and research organizations with descriptions of their services. Some students may be unable to plow through this detailed, argumentative text. However, those motivated to do so will find much to ponder and debate, and a wealth of information for research papers.Judith L.
