It is an understatement to say that race is a sensitive issue in American society. Controversies over race relations range from disagreement over whether they are improving or not to complex questions about the effects of race-conscious policies on society. This volume explores these topics in the following chapters: What Is the State of Race Relations in America? Is Racism a Serious Problem? What Should the Government Do to Improve Race Relations? How Can Society Improve Race Relations? (20020801)

Date rape emerged as a controversial issue on college campuses in the late 1980s after a widely publicized study revealed that large numbers of college women had been coerced, either through physical force or psychological pressure, into having sex against their will. Questions of consent --does no really mean no? And whether the definition of rape should be broadened to include incidents where no force is used are debated and discussed in this anthology.

Cowboys roping their cattle and miners rushing to find gold. Steamboats rolling down the river and space shuttles flying into the stratosphere. Crunchy rock 'n' roll guitars and basketball players showing us nothing but hoop. From the Lady Liberty to Hollywood, the USA comes into focus for children when they complete the pictures. In addition to the dot-to-dots, they'll get lots of information on the sites, crafts, culture, people, and technology that have defined our country. The topics they'll love learning about include Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, jazz, jukeboxes, the Mall of America, and Mesa Verde.
