Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Now in a newly revised, substantively expanded, and thoroughly updated edition, Banned In The U.S.A.: A Reference Guide To Book Censorship In Schools And Public Libraries by Herbert N. Foerstel (formerly Head of Branch Libraries at the University of Maryland, College Park, and currently one of the Board of Directors for the National Security Archives), offers a thorough study of the current state of book-banning in schools and public libraries, as well as being a superbly organized, "easy to look up" reference resource concerning major incidents of book banning (including legal cases arising from book banning), and authoritative information concerning the most frequently challenged books -- in 1996 through 2000 the Harry Potter series tops the list of banned books! Simply put, Banned In The U.S.A. is a straightforward and fact-filled resource which should be found on the shelf of every academic and public library in the country.
