Targeted at middle and high school students, this three-volume set from the ABC News Classroom Edition series--which provides concise, instructive outlines of a wide range of topics--focuses on global human rights. The opening tape, Global Concerns, presents an historical overview of human rights issues arising from faith-based, ethnic-based, and political-based conflicts, followed by first-hand contemporary accounts from countries such as Ireland, East Timor, China, and Rwanda. Volumes 2 and 3--South Africa: A Case Study and China: A Case Study--provide more detailed coverage of human rights abuses in the respective countries. A nicely produced, fast-paced series ideally suited to classroom discussion, the set comes with an instructional/discussion guide with lesson plans, web resources, and national standards. While the target audience is grades 7-12, college students and adults desiring a solid overview would benefit from this as well. Highly recommended. Other new series include: The World Economy (5 tapes) and The Final Frontier: Space Exploration and Its Impact on Society (4 tapes). Aud: J, H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
