Encyclopedia of the U. S. Constitution

School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up—Volume one of this excellent resource includes a set table of contents. The clear, concise, and unbiased entries cover cases, legislation, people, issues, and events, and are filled with key points from which students can gather important introductory information. Each entry is followed by further-reading suggestions, and some entries are accompanied by well-labeled black-and-white portraits and photographs. Volume two has seven appendixes: "Declaration of Independence," "Articles of Confederation," "The Constitution of the United States of America," "Bill of Rights," "Other Amendments to the Constitution," "U.S. Constitution Time Line," and "Locating Court Cases." Perfect for term papers, projects, and debate units.—Ivy Miller, Wyoming Seminary Upper School, Kingston, PA
