'Issues in Society' is a unique and invaluable series of books for those
who need up-to-date information on contemporary social issues.

18 books a year are published – 6 books in January, April and August.
Each book features a particular topical issue and is designed to remove
the burden of compiling and maintaining information from a wide
variety of sources.

A variety of opinions is expressed in each book. For example, The Globalisation Issue (Vol 272), presents a mix of opinions in the debate
over the positive and negative impacts of globalisation. Our aim is to provide a balanced overview and a diverse range of perspectives on this and many other issues.

All topics are exhaustively researched, and the most current, quality information is then compiled and reproduced. Each 48-page book is presented in an easily accessible colour A4 format, and includes
cartoons, illustrations and photographs.

With only a few exceptions, all topics are updated every 3-4 years with
a totally new title in the series.

These books are ideal for use in essays, assignments, debates, as
teaching aids, and for your own personal research.
