With public perception of gun violence
at an all-time high, the Encyclopedia of Gun Control and Gun Rights is the perfect
resource for any library. Providing 300-plus entries of in-depth coverage
(each entry is from 700 to 1,000 words), the Encyclopedia is exceptional for
its unbiased approach to this controversial issue. Presenting information on the Columbine
High School shooting and other school-related incidents, this encyclopedia is
a natural attention-getter for high school students doing research or writing
papers. It's also an excellent first-step resource for college students,
teachers, administrators, law enforcement officials, and others interested in
gun policy. Arranged in an A-Z format with numerous
cross-references, this encyclopedia is especially easy to use. It also
contains a guide to selected topics, a chronology (from 1775 to the present),
a selected bibliography (including selected Web sites), and more than a dozen
tables that list state firearm provisions, trace the growth of federal gun
legislation, and track gun imports. |
