Book ID/图书代码： 12580018C00035

English Summary/英文概要： On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania changed the global community, pushing terrorism into the spotlight, and triggering a series of world events that included the invasion of Afghanistan and the Iraq War. For many people in the United States, it was their first experience of terrorism in their home country.

Terrorism is a global phenomenon that affects many people worldwide, yet it is not a new problem―terrorism has a long history dating back to ancient societies. For generations, terrorist attacks have been carried out against people of all nationalities and ethnic and religious backgrounds. Recent terrorist attacks in Belgium, California, and France demonstrate that the threat of terrorism continues and prompts many questions. Who are the terrorists? What are their motives? And how can we stop the violence?

Terrorism: Violence, Intimidation, and Solutions for Peace examines the history of terrorism, its current forms, different causes for it, the effects of terrorism on countries and communities, the psychology of recruiting, who is attracted to it, and how they become engaged. This book explores how terrorism is defined and the motives and methods behind these violent acts. It also encourages students to think critically about current and future efforts to prevent terrorist attacks. Open-minded, investigative projects encourage readers to brainstorm problem-solving strategies to prevent terrorism and to help communities recover after an event. Terrorism teaches students about a crucial topic in an objective, fact-based way that promotes empowerment and understanding.

Throughout Terrorism, stories of resilience and kindness are featured alongside realistic, respectful stories of tragedy, allowing students to perceive the harsh reality of the phenomenon without losing sight of the eternal capacity for hope. Investigations and experiments provide hands-on, problem-solving opportunities for students while links to online primary sources and other pertinent resources allow students to independently indulge their own curiosity and follow trails of academic and personal significance.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2001年9月11日，纽约市、华盛顿特区和宾夕法尼亚州发生的恐怖袭击改变了国际社会，将恐怖主义推到了聚光灯下，并引发了一系列国际事件，包括入侵阿富汗和伊拉克战争。对许多美国人来说，这是他们第一次在自己的国家经历恐怖主义。

恐怖主义是一个全球性的现象，影响着世界各地的许多人，但它并不是一个新的问题。恐怖主义有着悠久的历史，可以追溯到古代社会。几代人以来，恐怖主义袭击针对所有民族、种族和宗教背景的人。最近在比利时、加利福尼亚和法国发生的恐怖袭击表明，恐怖主义的威胁仍在继续，并引发了许多问题。(Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：Comparative Religion: Investigate the World Through Religious Traditions: Booklist "The abstractions of religion make it a tricky topic for objective and clear middle-level resources, but this dynamic book manages to be both informative and accessible. A chapter is devoted to each of the major world religions, detailing creation stories, sacred texts, worship habits, leaders, and rituals. The culminating chapter explores the ways that religions have spread over time and addresses major conflicts such as the Crusades and the strife in the Middle East. Key questions summarize each chapter’s major themes and encourage higher-level thinking and connections to readers’ own beliefs and attitudes, while a sidebar "Vocab Lab" feature goes above and beyond a simple glossary, pushing readers to apply unfamiliar terms to existing knowledge. Scannable QR codes link to enrichment activities and further reading, and occasional cartoon drawings add humor and relatability. By examining complex beliefs and doctrine in an accessible and reader-friendly format, Mooney effectively teases out the commonalities among major world religions."

Civic Unrest: Investigate the Struggle for Social Change: Booklist Few topics are timelier, more divisive, and more difficult to fully understand than civic unrest. Lusted uses Rosa Parks as the archetype for defining civil unrest in the opening chapter. An explanation of primary sources and excerpts from famous speeches, tracts, and books that supports Common Core State Standards literacy goals are included in the marginalia. The "Vocab Lab" is a major strength of the book, providing not only a glossary of unfamiliar terms but also activities designed to put those new terms into use. Comic strips comprise the bulk of the book’s artwork, using reoccurring characters to explain basic civics principles. The text deals with contemporary issues in the U.S. but also explains relevant examples of civic unrest in the Middle East, South Africa, and India. The "Inquire and Investigate" section encourages readers to put many of the theories and concepts explained in earlier chapters into practice. This is a complete and thorough resource dealing with basic civic principles for the middle-level social- studies classroom.

Human Migration: Investigate the Global Journey of Humankind: School Library Connection- "At first glance, the contents of the book present themselves on an elementary level; however, the topics covered and some of the features offered might make more sense to older students. Three of the special features of the book are primary source extensions that encourage students to use their smartphones or tablets to explore resources further, vocabulary labs that help the students learn new words related to the topic, and Inquire & Investigate labs that are hands-on activities students may do to really dig deeper. All of the words in the vocabulary labs are defined in a glossary in the back of the book. The book starts with a timeline, and ensuing chapters follow in chronological order. Index. Recommended."
