Divorce

Two highly competent introductions to the subjects for the more able 15/16 year olds in the 'Talking Points' series. There are numerous case studies to personalise the issues dealt with in the body of the text, some useful statistics and plenty of photographs (though the overall design feels somewhat 'bitty'). 64 pages, glossary, bibliography, comprehensive index and a list of useful addresses (including the inevitable web-sites). Wayland have a long record of producing these 'issue' books and I am sure they must sell well but I am always left with the nagging question - who actually reads them?
