Interesting Perspectives

This book has a listing in the back giving information about the organzations that are involved in this topic. From there you can look at the author, and then the organization they are representing, to be able to piece together what kind of bias and political perspective each article is representing. It's interesting because by the time you read it you can see how different the opposing sides are and then try to decide who, if anybody, really knows what they are talking about. I loved it!
