The AIDS Challenge: Prevention Education for Young People. Edited by Marcia Quackenbush and Mary Nelson with Kay Clark. From Library Journal Earlier collections (e.g., Victor Gong and Norman Rudnick's AIDS: Facts and Issues, LJ 12/86) have discussed AIDS in terms of the gay community and/or the general population. This is a remarkable collection of well-documented essays for young people. Written by leading experts, it covers AIDS history, current medical knowledge, the role of adults (e.g., parents, teachers, religious leaders), minority youths, and special populations (runaways, hemophiliacs, etc.). Appendixes include national groups, a student questionnaire, a glossary, and an annotated list of up-to-date resources. An important resource for everyone dealing with young people.
