The tone, however, remains enthusiastic in both....Extensive, annotated lists of resources appear at the end of each chapter, and include Internet Sites, computer programs, and addresses and phone numbers of related government agencies in the U.S. and abroad. Full-color and black-and-white photos lend an attractive touch.
