Summary

CQ's Vital Issues Series is a new reference collection that provides unparalleled, non-biased analysis of controversial topics debated at the local, state, and federal levels. All sides of an issue are equally covered, and the series delves into gray areas and well-defined positions. The series takes on hot topics that dominate the media, shape election-year politics and confront the American public.

Each Book Includes:
-- A CQ Researcher issue, also published by CQ press, that introduces the subject
-- In-depth explanation of pertinent politics, policy, and political players on federal, state, and local levels
-- An analysis of key for-profit and non-profit business interests
-- Discussion of the international reaction to how the U.S. handles the issue.

The books also feature extensive appendices of key documents such as a chronology, bibliographies, Web sites, encyclopedia articles, primary documents, facts, commentaries, policies, and Supreme Court rulings. A valuable series for high school, community college and university students, as well
