AIDS (Introducing issues with opposing viewpoints)

By Mary E. Williams

This collection of essays promotes issue awareness as well as critical thinking in regard to AIDS. The essays are arranged in a pro versus con format, so that readers benefit from more than one quality, intelligent viewpoint. Across three chapters, readers will assess how serious the threat of AIDS is, whether the spread of it can be controlled, and how global epidemics should be addressed. Because readers are presented with a variety of viewpoints, this book is also a great resource for report-writing and research. Stellar essay sources include amfAR, The Foundation for Aids Research, The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, The Economist, Investor's Business Daily, Human Rights Watch, and Doctors Without Borders.
