Information Plus: The Information Series On Current Topics

This series deals with contemporary issues or social problems that are the focus of many communications and sociology courses. Each chapter deals with a specific aspect of a more broad issue, such as Wife Abuse and Elder Abuse in the book on Violent Relationships. Also, Family Living Arrangements and Attitudes of American Youth in the book on Growing Up in America. Graphs, charts, histories of the issues, government and legal precedents are concise and readable resources at the end of some books in the series lead the reader to additional source material.
