Recenzii
The contributors to this volume have built a sturdy bridge that allows interested readers easy access to the main body of human rights law and practice. As a work of reference, the volume is handsomely edited, readable, and visually attractive. . . . Much more straightforward and readable than Human Rights in Political Transitions, this book merits inclusion in most reference collections on international affairs.
[T]he book is an excellent source of information on the many facets of human rights. It should be valuable not only for human rights workers and activists but also for teachers, students, journalists, and anyone interested in the subject.
High school and college students will find this one-volume encyclopedia easy to use because of its logical organization and clear writing. . . . All of the authors write clearly and without emotional overtones. The book's physical appearance is also attractive, with good use of columns and bold type. Most collections will place this resource in the Reference section, but the book as so well written that it will hold interest when read like a textbook.
Human Rights offers balanced views and useful information on myriad issues about human rights throughout the world during the latter half of the 20th century.
[H]elpful resource for high school and college students who are researching human rights issues, or for researchers and librarians in need of a handy reference resource.

Notă biografică
As a little girl, books became Carol's world. Having grown up in a time and place where jobs and money were scarce, holding a book in her hands was like digging up buried treasure. When she wasn't reading, she played school. Years later, one of her dreams materialized when she graduated college with a teaching degree. Now, with that career behind her, she is embarking on another journey as an author. Time and God's goodness have brought her further than she ever could have imagined. Erin Ryan Macphee has been drawing and painting since she could hold a crayon. Her first inspiration came at the age of three when her mother, a self-taught artist, took Erin with her as she sketched houses and historic buildings in their small town. Erin has been an elementary art teacher and a working artist for over thirty years. She continues to teach, illustrate, and paint murals today. She lives on a small farm in the rural northwest corner of Rhode Island with her family and an assortment of animals.
