Omnigraphics may be well known for publishing health guides, but as these sets demonstrate, their keen eye for references isn't limited to the medical community: recommended for both high school and college-level collections are three important new arrivals. Kevin Hillstrom's Defining Moments: Watergate (0780807-693, $38.00) and Leif A. Gruenberg's Defining Moments: The Korean War (078-0807669, $38.00) each provide a blend of biographies, historical overviews, and primary source documents of the times to follow key changes and transformations which changed U.S. and world policies. The three major sections allow students to receive clear discussions of important period moments. Tanya Gulevich's Understanding Islam And Muslim Traditions (0780807049, $54.00) is an excellent, basic introduction for this audience, surveying the religion, customs, social systems and folklore of Muslim tradition. Add in geography as well as historical overviews and you have a wide-ranging title important to a thorough understanding of the system.
