The Civil War
The Civil War still holds a prominent place in the American imagination. Reenactments and battlefield visits are popular tourist attractions for both Northerners and Southerners. The underlying issues of racism and states' rights that caused the war are also still visible in American society. Sidebars, timelines, and historic images augment the informative narrative. Detailed maps illustrate how the Civil War was fought. Annotated quotes and discussion questions help readers develop a deeper understanding of the reality of the American Civil War and draw comparisons between this historical period and modern times.
Political Campaigns
Political campaigns are an intrinsic piece of the increasingly expensive and polarizing road to Election Day. This volume looks into the many aspects of political campaigns, including nominations, political advertising, and the laws and policies in place to protect the voting process. Through in-depth main text featuring annotated quotes, sidebars, charts, and graphs, readers learn about the influence of social media on Election Day, and the ways psychology can help candidates win. They'll survey what voting might look like in the future. Readers are also presented with questions to help them review and think critically about this issue.
Families Through Adoption
About 2 percent of children in the United States are adopted. Some of these children may be from another country. Other children are adopted out of foster care or after a parent voluntarily gives them up. Sometimes, a stepparent may adopt the children of their spouse. This book carefully approaches the different types of adoption and some of the challenges that adoptive families face. Your young readers are encouraged to consider how adoption affects a family and how they can show support and understanding for peers who are adopted.

Has the Internet killed our main streets? Have our town and city centers become obsolete? This book looks beyond the empty commercial buildings and "shop local" campaigns to focus on the real issues: how the relationship between people and places is changing; how business is done and who benefits; and how the use and ownership of land affects us all. Written in an engaging and accessible style and incorporating numerous original interviews, How to Save Our Town Centres sets out a comprehensive and coherent agenda for long-term, citizen-led change. It will be vital reading for policy makers and researchers alike, and anyone interested in planning, architecture and the built environment, economic development, and community participation.
In the Light of Evolution
Two Centuries of Darwin is the outgrowth of an Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium, sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences on January 16-17, 2009. In the chapters of this book, leading evolutionary biologists and science historians reflect on and commemorate the Darwinian Revolution. They canvass modern research approaches and current scientific thought on each of the three main categories of selection (natural, artificial, and sexual) that Darwin addressed during his career. Although Darwin's legacy is associated primarily with the illumination of natural selection in The Origin, he also contemplated and wrote extensively about what we now term artificial selection and sexual selection.
