The Opposing Viewpoints Series developed and has set the standard for current-issue studies. With hundreds of volumes covering nearly every controversial contemporary topic, Opposing Viewpoints is the leading source for libraries and classrooms in need of current-issue materials. Each title explores a specific issue by placing expert opinions in a unique pro/con format. The viewpoints are selected from a wide range of highly respected and often hard-to-find sources and publications. By choosing from such diverse sources and including both popular and unpopular views, the Opposing Viewpoints editorial team has adhered to its commitment to editorial objectivity. Readers are exposed to many sides of a debate, which promotes issue awareness as well as critical thinking. In short, Opposing Viewpoints is the best research and learning tool for exploring the issues that continually shape and define our turbulent and changing world.While Greenhaven Publishing strives to replicate print content, some content may not be available due to rights restrictions.

Long-standing series about controversial contemporary issues continue(s) to turn out exceptional titles.  Greenhaven's Opposing Viewpoints presents multiple perspectives on hot topics such as abortion, the death penalty, and censorship through excerpts from primary materials ranging from speeches to cartoons.   -- Booklist (October 2001)

Opposing Viewpoints series examines controversial issues by examining diverse viewpoints. This series contains many current topics in the news. This year’s entries include books about obesity, energy alternatives, ethics, and tobacco and smoking. --Book of Note 2011, Tri State Young Adult Review Group

This series is invaluable for preparing students for debates, classes, or research assignments.  Opposing Viewpoints books help prepare high school students for critical thinking and make them aware of issues that affect society today.  Recommended.   -- The Book Report (March-April 2002)

This Opposing Viewpoints selection uses essays that swing wildly toward extremes to cover the topic.  The writing becomes even more heated in the following sections...The shocking arguments and sometimes-blatant absurdity makes nearly all the essays compelling reading, wth students needing only a glimpse at an article's title to determine tone and subjectivity of the author.  Most essays are short, get right to the core of their arguments, and blast readers with examples that fit the emotional topic.   -- Booklist (September 2001)

As usual for books in this series, there are plenty of follow-up sources for students to pursue.   -- Booklist (June 2002)

As always in the Opposing Viewpoints series, there are voices from many sides of the debate.   -- Booklist (April 2002)

Most present clear, fact-supported points that readers will find valuable for speeches and reports.  Editorial cartoons, anectdotes, and statistics break up the essays, make reading easier.  This is a well-balanced approach to the issues, argued with studied analysis rather than bind emotion.   -- Booklist (April 2002)

Well-balanced collection of essays.  Sometimes complementary, sometimes contradictory, the many views clearly articulated here make this volume an excellent starting place for any thoughtful discussion.   -- Booklist (Febraury 2002)

The format and approach are identical to other titles in the series; both sides of a particular issue are explored in depth.  Each essay is prefaced by questions that will help students focus their reading and each chapter concludes with suggestions for further reading and research.  Students will find the articles helpful in examining these controversial and often emotional issues.   -- School Library Journal (August 2002)

The language is understandable but not simplistic, the pieces are clearly titles for easy identification, and a few cartoons and charts break up the dense text.  This unbiased collection is a welcome resource for researchers and debaters.   -- School Library Journal (June 2002)

Written by educators, scientists, journalists, doctors, veterinarians, members of the clergy and advocates.  This excellent volume will elicit group discussion and help to develop critical thinking and analysis of sensitive issues.    -- School Library Journal (May 2002)

Most useful in schools with religion and/or philosophy courses, but should also appeal to general readers.   -- School Library Journal (April 2002)

This book will be of interest both for personal reading and research.  --School Library Journal, February 2007

This supplemental reader is perfect for getting students involved in discussion.  The resulting debates are sure to reinforce any primary readings and will breathe life into any standard lecture oriented course.  This supplement is a useful tool for instructors to get students involved.   -- Crime and Justive International (May 2002)

this collection does a good job of placing media violence in a broad historical context that allows students to view this important topic more expansively.  Recommended for high school, public and university libraries as a worthwhile supplement to other resources on violence in the media.  --Doug's Student Reference Room, April 2008

These new titles in this particularly well-organized series bring together previously published articles that provide different points of view on various hot topics.  --KLIATT, September 2007

This series does a great job presenting diverse opinions on current topics in order to promote critical thinking skills.  Student debaters and paper writers will benefit from the helpful way in which the selections are organized and introduced...all are sure to provoke valuable discussions and debates in and out of classrooms.  KLIATT, March 2008
