New H.W. Wilson
Volume Looks at The United Nations Coverage of
History, Effectiveness, and Relations with the U.S. Makes New Reference Shelf Volume
Perfect Preparation for 2005 Student Debate Tournament
New York, New York, April 8th, 2004
 H.W.
Wilson today announced publication of the first volume in its
Reference Shelf series to focus on the subject of an upcoming
National High School Policy Debate (the annual tournament involving
students nationwide)—U.S.
National Debate Topic 2004-2005: The United Nations.
U.S. National Debate Topic
2004-2005: The United Nations examines the UN's history,
mission, and organization, its effectiveness, and its evolving role
on the world stage, especially in light of recent events that test
its resolve and question the relevance of the world body. The volume
also devotes a section to the often strained relationship between
the U.S. and the United Nations—especially useful for students
preparing for the tournament. (The 2004-2005 National High School
Policy Debate, set for Spring 2005, will question whether the U.S.
should substantially increase its support of UN peacekeeping
operations as foreign policy.)
U.S. National Debate Topic
2004-2005: The United Nations is the second of six books
in The Reference Shelf 2004 series. The first in the series, Homeland Security, was
published in February 2004. Four others are forthcoming: The Two Koreas, The U.S. Election System,
The Car and Its Future,
and Representative American
Speeches 2003-2004. Libraries that order the complete
6-volume set receive a substantial discount.
Each book in the Reference Shelf series offers extensive exploration
of a current topic of importance in modern society, in a compilation
of notable articles from respected publications, plus abstracts of
20 to 30 additional articles and a bibliography of other sources
(including websites). Reference Shelf volumes provide a
well-rounded, non-biased overview for researchers and general
readers, and the perfect starting point for further research. The
Reference Shelf 2003 included The American Family,
Intellectual Property, The Muslim World, Urban Planning, Warfare in the 21st Century,
and Representative American
Speeches 2002-2003.
Review copies of
Reference Shelf volumes are available for members of the press. For
