Gr. 5-8. From the People at the Center series, these collective biographies provide overviews of noteworthy individuals. Witch Trials begins with two fifteenth-century European priests whose book on witchcraft influenced the events in Salem. Most of the entries describe people directly involved with the accusations and trials. Even well-versed readers will find it fascinating to see the story unfold from the points of view of the individuals who were there. Women's Suffrage follows that movement from Mary Brent, who demanded the vote in the Maryland House of Burgesses in the mid-1600s, to Alice Paul, who worked for the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, wrote the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, and lived to see it passed by Congress in 1972. Though her subject lacks the inherent drama of Orr's, Kops provides a good introduction to seminal figures in the women's suffrage movement as well as many lesser-known names. In each book, more than half the space is devoted to illustrations, often in color, including many photographs in Suffrage as well as prints and portrait paintings. Each book ends with a chronology and lists of recommended books and Web sites. Carolyn Phelan
