Although aimed at high school students, the essays are sufficiently detailed to serve adult audiences in public and undergraduate libraries.

Lawrence Looks at Books  
Gale Group  

No doubt this set and the others to follow will earn shelf space in libraries serving high school students and above, and the general public.

Reference & Research  
Book News  

This won't be as popular as reading about great lives, but it is certainly a good starting point for a student who wants to develop a theory about the background of today's conflicts. Recommended.

Reference for Students  

Great Events has not been updated in some time. With a considerable amount of new material, this revision is both justified and welcome and is recommended for high-school, undergraduate, and public libraries.
Booklist  

These resources will be helpful for reports at the high school level and beyond.
