NEW JAN ’22! Educational Equity
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 379.2 If children are the future, the importance of educating them cannot be overvalued. Why, then, is access to quality education in the US consistently under debate? The US is known as the Land of Opportunity, but the truth is that many children are unable to meet their potential simply because of educational inequities. The viewpoints in this resource examine the difference between equality and equitability; issues such as funding disparities, impacts of gender, race, and socioeconomic status, and lack of resources; and what can be done to ensure that every student has a chance to succeed, regardless of their background. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0845-3 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0844-6
NEW JAN ’22! Green Politics
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 320.58 Green parties began to take root in Europe in the 1970s and soon spread to other parts of the globe. This political ideology is based in environmentalism, nonviolence, and social justice. In the United States, the Green Party has failed to make a mark on national politics, like all third parties, and under the current election system it seems unlikely that will change. The viewpoints in this resource debate the issues and relevance of the Green Party, ways in which it can promote its agenda without candidates in office, and how it can achieve success. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0843-9 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0842-2
NEW JAN ’22! Poverty, Prosperity, and the Minimum Wage
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 331.2 The US federal hourly minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 for more than a decade, even though both inflation and productivity have risen steadily. Experts say an hourly wage of $24 is in keeping with inflation, although even a raise to $15 per hour would succeed in lifting nearly one million Americans out of poverty. Some states and cities have done just that, but a gridlocked Congress has prevented it from happening on the federal level. This resource asks the question: In one of the world’s richest countries, why are so many workers unable to cover basic living expenses? Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0847-7 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0846-0
NEW JAN ’22! QAnon and Other Conspiracy Theories
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 320.97 QAnon appeared to be yet another laughable and fairly innocuous conspiracy theory whose popularity was made possible by the powers of the digital age. But it soon became clear that its followers, legitimized by President Donald Trump, were dead serious, going so far as to storm the US Capitol after Trump lost his reelection bid. The viewpoints in this resource explore the conditions that allow for such conspiracy theories to begin to take hold in an educated society, and why these theories have gone from fringe element to the mainstream, even being taken seriously by some members of the US government. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0839-2 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0838-5
NEW JAN ’22! Space Exploration and the Search for Life Beyond Earth
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 576.8 Is there intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? It seems unlikely that Earth’s inhabitants are the only ones. Those who claim to have witnessed UFOs and alien life are often dismissed as crackpots, yet the search for extraterrestrial intelligence has been conducted by scientists ever since technological advancements allowed for it. The viewpoints in this resource explore what it would mean on a practical level to find other intelligent life-forms, how important space exploration is in general, whether governments or private enterprise should fund such searches, and other relevant issues. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0841-5 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0840-8
NEW JAN ’22! Trumpism and the Future of the Republican Party
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 324.27 Donald Trump entered the political arena by relentlessly questioning the legitimacy of President Barack Obama. He had become famous—and infamous—as a businessman and TV personality, and his rise to the presidency was shocking and polarizing. Trump’s bombastic campaign and tumultuous term in the White House revealed a changing Republican party. Swept up in a populist surge, the Party of Lincoln seemed poised to become eclipsed by hateful rhetoric and wild conspiracy theories rather than solid conservative policies. This resource explores the Trump phenomenon and asks: What is the future of the Republican party, with or without Donald Trump? Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0837-8 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0836-1

NEW AUG ’21! Executive Privilege and the Powers of the Presidency
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 346.73 The Founding Fathers took great pains to set up a government with three equal branches with the intent of limiting the powers of any one branch. Yet the executive branch possesses powers, known as executive privilege, which can be invoked to withhold information from the other branches in certain matters. But what happens when presidents use executive privilege to hide wrongdoing? How much does the public deserve to know? In this volume, experts make their cases both against and in support of executive privilege and project how it might be expanded or limited in the future. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0797-5 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0796-8
NEW AUG ’21! Food Security
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 363.80 More than 25 percent of the world’s population experiences moderate or severe levels of food insecurity. The United States is not exempt: 35 million Americans do not have regular access to food that is safe and nutritious. The viewpoints in this volume address how this is possible in such a rich and resourceful nation. They also explore why so many urban and rural areas are now considered food deserts. Readers will examine the paradox of the obesity epidemic and the government’s responsibility to feed its citizens. The side effects of a hungry population, particularly in children and seniors, are assessed. Readers are challenged to evaluate and consider solutions for ensuring food security. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0801-9 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0800-2
NEW AUG ’21! Impeachment ©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 342.73 Although we associate impeachment with US presidents, it can pertain to government officials at the state or federal level. In addition, it exists in many countries around the world. In its entire history, the United States has impeached three presidents, but some experts wonder if that number is likely to grow as the country and its leaders become more divided. Will impeachment be used as a political tool, and is the ensuing chaos worth it? The viewpoints in this volume examine impeachment, offer interpretations of the Founding Fathers’ intentions, and question whether there is a better way. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0807-1 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0806-4 NEW AUG ’21! Income Inequality
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 339.2 Income inequality, which is the income gap between rich and poor, has widened steadily for the past fifty years in the United States. This gap affects women, immigrants, and racial and ethnic minorities most, and it can create problems that ripple through many aspects of our lives for generations to come. Why does income inequality exist, how does it affect our society, and how can we address it? The wide-ranging viewpoints in this volume explore these questions and provide important explanations and context for this complicated issue. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0719-7 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0718-0
NEW AUG ’21! Service, Emotional Support, and Therapy Animals
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 362.4 Animals provide support to humans on a daily basis. Service animals are rigorously trained to assist the visually impaired and people with life-threatening medical conditions. Therapy animals are trained to provide comfort to those in need. Emotional support animals give their owners companionship and therapy. While some of these animals have been scientifically proven to be indispensable, the value of others is dubious. The viewpoints in this volume explore the expanding world of assistance animals, shedding light on how they do and do not enhance our lives. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0799-9 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0798-2 NEW AUG ’21! The Surveillance State
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 323.44 Many have argued that at least since the September 11th terrorist attacks, the United States has become a surveillance state. Others have countered that the government has the public’s best interest in mind. But what is the truth? How does a government and its law enforcement prioritize the safety of its citizens without infringing on their privacy? The diverse viewpoints in this volume address the questions of whether the United States is operating under a surveillance state, whether we can have safety without surveillance, and whether it’s too late to turn back from our present tech-heavy situation. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0803-3 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0802-6
NEW AUG ’21! Universal Basic Income
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 331.2 During the 2020 Democratic primary campaign, candidate Andrew Yang’s policy of universal basic income was something many Americans had never heard of. Yang’s background as a tech entrepreneur likely influenced his platform, as he projected that within the next decade 1 of every 3 workers would be at risk of losing their jobs to new technologies. Basic income has been debated and piloted in countries around the world since the 1960s. Readers will evaluate whether a country that prides itself on the merits of hard work, automation, and a drastically evolving labor force could change that. Lib .

NEW AUG ’21! COVID-19 and Other Pandemics
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 614.4 From the Black Death of the fourteenth century to more recent Ebola and SARS and the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis, pandemics and disease outbreaks have devastated societies, wiped out significant portions of populations, and necessitated political, social, and scientific changes to address these public health catastrophes. When the COVID-19 virus effectively brought the world to its knees in 2020, it became clear that whatever scientists and policymakers had learned from historical pandemics wasn’t enough. Journalists, politicians, medical professionals, and other experts from a range of fields weigh in on how pandemics happen and evaluate the potential means of controlling them. Lib .

NEW AUG ’21! Is America a Democracy or an Oligarchy?
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 330.97 Since the inception of the United States, certain democratic principles have been inherent to the nation’s political identity. Theoretically, this means that all citizens should receive equal representation and opportunity. However, income inequality has grown in recent years and shows no signs of slowing. Some argue that the wealthy are given unequal power over the government and society as a whole, creating an oligarchy. The viewpoints in this volume examine the development of the country from political, social, and economic perspectives to determine whether the country can still be considered a democracy. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0815-6 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0814-9 eBook ISBN: 978-1-5345-0825-5
NEW AUG ’21! The Media’s Influence on Society
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 302.23 Sometimes known as the Fourth Estate, the media plays a powerful role in today’s society. It is held responsible for keeping the public informed and supporting a healthy democracy. However, some worry that the media presents the news in a way that is too sensationalized or biased, with its primary motives being ratings and profits rather than the good of the public. This volume examines differing viewpoints on what can reasonably be expected of the media. Readers will evaluate the effects of the internet on the media, and the various political, cultural, and economic impacts the media has on society. Lib .

NEW AUG ’21! Partisanship ©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 306.20 The two-party system has long characterized American politics, but partisanship as it is understood today is a relatively recent phenomenon. Today, partisanship is not simply based on one’s voting record but a totalizing sense of identification with one party over the other. Consequently, the American political climate is more polarized than ever before. Though this fact is often reported with alarm, it may be too soon to determine whether partisanship actually damages democracy. This volume examines what partisanship means today, how this differs from historical partisanship, its contributing factors, and the effect it has on the country. Lib .

NEW AUG ’21! Policing in America
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 363.20 Police officers are responsible for maintaining law and order to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being. In doing so, they often put their lives on the line, making it a dangerous and challenging profession. In contemporary America, police forces are criticized for disproportionately targeting people of color, offering indemnity to the small percentage of police officers that act unlawfully or otherwise irresponsibly, and using unnecessarily brutal policing practices. The viewpoints in this volume will allow readers to become more familiar with all sides of policing in America through careful examination of relevant facts and opinions. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0809-5 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0808-8 eBook ISBN: 978-1-5345-0810-1
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 347.73 As the most powerful judiciary body in the US, the Supreme Court is expected to uphold constitutional values while remaining insulated from influence by political agendas. In recent years, however, some have perceived the Supreme Court as becoming increasingly politicized, with some labeling the 2018 appointment of Justice Kavanaugh a pro-conservative political maneuver. Despite these recent concerns, there are also numerous historical examples of judicial activism. This volume discusses the Supreme Court’s politicization across history, examines whether it is realistic or useful to expect it to be insulated from politics, and evaluates possible means of depoliticizing the Court.

NEW AUG ’21! Wellness Culture
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 613 Wellness culture promises a reprieve from the stress of long workdays, restrictive dieting, and punishing exercises through providing the alternative of a balanced lifestyle that simply focuses on feeling good. However, the reality of wellness culture is more complicated. While some assert that it successfully promotes well-being, others argue that it is simply a way of rebranding the dieting and exercise regimens that already existed, building an industry around the products and services that allegedly promote wellness. This volume clarifies the nebulous concept of “wellness” and explores how culture, business, and health intersect to create today’s wellness culture. Lib .

NEW JAN ’22! Big Tech and Democracy
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 303.48 Like other large global corporations, the technology sector known as “Big Tech” possesses the money and power to disproportionately influence society. But so far, many of these companies have escaped scrutiny and regulation while enjoying the benefits of a relatively new—and not always understood—medium. Should social media companies be considered publishers, being held accountable for spreading misinformation? Does technology increase extremism and other harmful behaviors? Is it too late to change? The viewpoints in this volume explore the fascinating debate surrounding what responsibility Big Tech should take when it comes to upholding democratic principles. Lib .

NEW JAN ’22! The Capitol Riot: Fragile Democracy
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 973.93 The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 sent shockwaves around the world. Suddenly, the United States, for many the gold standard of democracy and stability, seemed at risk. The riot was a direct response by a mob of extremist Trump supporters contesting the results of the recent election, but in many ways it was a culmination of larger and more complicated forces. The viewpoints in this volume explore how and why this astonishing violation happened, who and what is ultimately responsible for the insurrection, and what it means for the future of democracy and the United States.

©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 363.32 While difficult to define conclusively, cyberterrorism involves using computer systems to create chaos and fear in order to harm individuals or larger groups such as organizations or nation-states. Acts of cyberterrorism can be a major threat to infrastructure and security. But how realistic a threat are they? Some experts claim that despite their dramatic scope, cyberterrorist acts are mostly exaggerated by the media. Others counter that such threats should be taken very seriously. The viewpoints in this resource debate the potential damage created by cyberterrorism, how it can be prevented, and who is responsible for policing it. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0865-1 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0864-4 eBook ISBN: 978-1-5345-0866-8
NEW JAN ’22! Domestic Extremism
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 303.48 The United States seems to be more ideologically divided than ever, with political polarization at an all-time high in recent history. Political differences can be positive, as when they drive an increase in political engagement or push both sides to come to better conclusions. But taken to an extreme, they can be dangerous. The viewpoints in this volume examine extremists on both the right and the left, how domestic extremism has evolved since the advent of the internet and social media, and how law enforcement at various levels should address it, particularly in the prevention of extremist attacks. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0850-7 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0849-1 eBook ISBN: 978-1-5345-0851-4 NEW JAN ’22! The Politics and Science of COVID-19
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 362.19 Despite recent outbreaks and warnings of a future global pandemic, the world seemed largely unprepared when COVID-19 quickly spread from China to Europe to the United States and beyond. In the US, the response was slow and heavily politicized. What went wrong, and what can be done to ensure the country is prepared for the next pandemic? Carefully selected viewpoints from experts in the field explore the virus and how it spread; the scientific community’s scramble to understand, treat, and vaccinate; and how science and politics can work together in the future. Lib . ISBN: 978-1-5345-0862-0 PB ISBN: 978-1-5345-0861-3 eBook ISBN: 978-1-5345-0863-7
NEW JAN ’22! Reparations for Black Americans
©2022 • GRL: Z • Dewey: 305.89 In recent years, discussions about reparations for Black Americans have gone from the abstract to the possible. While critics claim that reparations are unnecessary because those who deserve compensation are long dead, others argue that in the years since the end of the Civil War, the United States enacted many harmful laws and policies that prevented its Black citizens from leading enriched lives. The viewpoints in this volume examine whether reparations are the best way to right a wrong, how other countries have handled similar matters, and how reparations could be executed on a practical level.
