Grade 7 Up-Beginning with the voting fiasco in Florida in November 2000, this volume addresses three important issues: voter fraud, campaign contributions, and political advertising. Following an opening section by the author (an attorney/lobbyist), Marzilli goes way beyond the issue of Florida chads to offer many points of view on whether advertising in campaigns should be allowed, how well voter registrations are handled, whether campaign contributions amount to pure bribery, the benefits of free airtime to candidates, and more. Some questions to think about and informational sidebars break up the text. An excellent resource for assignments in this election year.-Linda Beck, Indian Valley Public Library, Telford, PA
