Controversial social problems currently facing Americans are
addressed in these 12 astute bibliographic essays that synthesize
the literature on the issues and outline strategies for locating
additional information. A few of the issues covered are media and
popular culture; public policy and government; law and the
administration of the justice system; poverty, welfare, and
unemployment; child care and elder care; hunger and nutrition;
homelessness; and children and the changing American family. The
essays provide thoughtful examinations of the issues, discuss
possible resolutions, and present lists of resources for further
study. An essential purchase for college and university libraries,
this work is also appropriate for high school libraries and medium
to large public libraries. It can be used as a supplementary text
for sociology, social work, public policy, family studies,
education, and nursing courses that involve the study of
contemporary social issues, and as a handbook by practitioners
