Featuring the work of almost 200 expert contributors, the Encyclopedia
of Contemporary American Social Issues comprises four volumes, each
devoted to a particular subject area. Volume one covers business and
the economy; volume two, criminal justice; volume three, family and
society; and volume four, the environment, science, and technology.
Coverage within these volumes ranges from biotechnology to identity
theft, from racial profiling to corporate governance, from school
choice to food safety.

The work brings into focus a broad array of key issues confronting
American society today. Approximately 225 in-depth entries lay out
the controversies debated in the media, on campuses, in government,
in boardrooms, and in homes and neighborhoods across the United
States. Critical issues in criminology, medicine, religion, commerce,
education, the environment, media, family life, and science are all
carefully described and examined in a scholarly yet accessible way.
Sidebars, photos, charts, and graphs throughout augment the entries,
making them even more compelling and informative.
