A series for students from Lucent Books ®
Lucent Books’ People in the News offers young readers
a deeper look into the lives of today’s newsmakers. Each
title in the series focuses on one notable contemporary
fi gure, covers their contributions and achievements or
notorious deeds, looks at the infl uences that have shaped
them and describes the impact they have had in their
fi elds of endeavor and on other people’s lives. Realistic
narratives also look at a person’s fl aws and foibles and
are accented by primary and secondary source quotations
from diaries, letters, speeches and interviews.
Subjects for the series come from all walks of life and
include authors, musicians, athletes, political leaders,
entertainers, entrepreneurs and others – people like:
■ Barack Obama, who from his upbringing in
Hawaii and Indonesia and his early years on the
streets of Chicago rose to the U.S. senate and is now
on the world stage as the fi rst African American to
be elected president
■ Pope Benedict XVI XVI, the conservative,
German head of the Catholic church who
sees the denial of moral truths as the central
problem of the 21st century
Each book includes photographs, an
annotated bibliography, a timeline and
a comprehensive index.
