Does Head Start focus too much on health care and nutrition and not enough on building basic skills?

For current coverage of controversial and important policy issues centering on urban politics, offer your students the balanced reporting and engaging writing that The CQ Researcher has consistently provided for over 80 years. This ideal supplement allows students to see an issue from all sides while giving them a window into how policy is actually made and implemented. In addition, useful pedagogical features-pro/con pieces, graphs, tables, maps, photos, suggested readings, and bibliographies-advance critical thinking and help in study and review.
This volume covers WWII from initial outbreak to final victory with news stories and photos from the Associated Press archives. Victory commemorates the day Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allied forces in Europe: May 8, 1945, VE Day. It covers the war through contemporary Associated Press coverage of key events, plus gripping human-interest accounts. The stories and photographs are presented chronologically so that readers can follow the unfolding conflict as it was experienced by ordinary citizens at the time. From Germany’s invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, to Japan’s ceremonial signing of surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945, each event is vividly brought to life through images and text from the original articles; historian Alan Axelrod provides insightful introductory text for each chapter.
