Studying any subject at degree level is an investment in the future
that involves significant cost. Now more than ever, students and
their parents need to weigh up the potential benefits of university
courses. That's where the Why Study series comes in. This series of
books, aimed at students, parents and teachers, explains in
practical terms the range and scope of an academic subject at
university level and where it can lead in terms of careers or
further study. Each book tries to both enthuse the reader about its
subject and answer the crucial questions that a college prospectus
does not. This volume is for students and potential students of
history - it answers the question why study history - and also how
to study it, where to study it, what it can do for you in your
future worklife, for your personal development, and for the public
good. This short guide busts a lot of myths and offers practical
advice based on an unparalleled understanding of how history is
actually taught on both sides of the Atlantic, in schools and
universities.
The Military and Teens covers the major issues young adults should
consider before making a decision to join the armed forces.
Although each branch of the military provides print and electronic
materials on what it has to offer enlistees, very few YA books take
a pro-and-con look at military service. Moreover, commercial
military books mostly cover specific wars or give tips on surviving
induction and training. From deciding to serve, to what it's like
to face death, to being forced to kill, to discrimination in the
military, and to life afterwards, this work presents the benefits
and downsides of military service. Kathlyn Gay covers the many
available choices of careers in the military and points out where
to go for more information. Both primary and secondary sources have
been used to provide information on young participants in the
American Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, World Wars I
& II, as well as the Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf wars. In the
final pages of the book, the comprehensive list of available
sources of information includes books, magazine articles, and
websites for further research. Enhanced by young people sharing
their personal experiences as enlistees and as members of military
families, The Military and Teens is a useful resource for both
teens and those who work with teens to advise them on career
choices.

Blood, Bullets, and Bones provides young readers with a fresh and fascinating look at the ever-evolving science of forensics.
Since the introduction of DNA testing, forensic science has been in the forefront of the public’s imagination, thanks especially to popular television shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. But forensic analysis has been practiced for thousands of years. Ancient Chinese detectives studied dead bodies for signs of foul play, and in Victorian England, officials used crime scene photography and criminal profiling to investigate the Jack the Ripper murders. In the intervening decades, forensic science has evolved to use the most cutting-edge, innovative techniques and technologies.
In this book, acclaimed author Bridget Heos uses real-life cases to tell the history of modern forensic science, from the first test for arsenic poisoning to fingerprinting, firearm and blood spatter analysis, DNA evidence, and all the important milestones in between. By turns captivating and shocking, Blood, Bullets, and Bones demonstrates the essential role forensic science has played in our criminal justice system.
