HIT: Debate Books Publishers/Series

[Susan Uthoff <uthoff@INFIONLINE.NET>]

Thanks for the help. The original TARGET is below.

Sarah


We're working on the debate book section. We've weeded the section and
are now looking for new stuff. These are the books that typically look
at both sides of a controversial issue. I've gone through:
Opposing Viewpoints
Current Controversies
Taking Sides
Ideas in Conflict
I'm looking for other series or publishers to check and any of these
debate books that have recently taken a hit.

try the social issues links at the Multnomah Library

 If you have no Internet, consider the print version
of SIRS (Social Issues Research Series), which includes
indexed articles on current issues.
 Another good print resource is CQ Researcher, also
indexed articles.  They also have an online version.
