Because children's literature explores serious issues using situations and language young students can readily understand, the authors of Sensitive Issues have selected current fiction and nonfiction elementary-level titles that can also be developed into units of study. They describe popular high-quality literature and stimulating activities to help young people deal with specific and important issues in their lives: divorce, substance abuse, death and dying, nontraditional home environments, child abuse, prejudice and cultural differences, moving, and disabilities.

The tumultuous events taking place in Eastern Europe have resulted in an avalanche of publications in English about that part of the world. This volume, a continuation of the late Stephan M.

It provides a selective bibliography of books concerning Russia and the Soviet Union that were published in English from 1986 to 1991. Descriptive annotations of more than 1,400 titles contain bibliographic information, brief abstracts, and...

Taking up where the third edition left off, it covers newer and more popular titles (1992 through 1995), along with a few classics from previous years.
