Young Adult Reader’s Adviser [2 volumes]: Set. 2 Vols.

This reference work - based on Bowker’s Reader’s Advisor - concentrates on the academic and personal needs of secondary school pupils in the 12-18 age group, by presenting a survey of important writers and writings. It links together the major areas of the secondary school curriculum: literature and language arts, social sciences, sciences, foreign language and mathematics. Subject areas and chapters specifically target research topics, from nature to the theory of relativity, and each chapter introduces the author or subject while supplying a reading list and bibliographic information. Titles of particular value to younger readers are marked. It aims to help teachers and librarians draw upon available books by making recommendations for outside reading .
