Gr 6-12 This video is intended to teach middle and high school students about racism and discrimination. A narrator begins by outlining the scope of the video. As new concepts are introduced, the words are defined, examples are given in simple graphics and on film, and differences between similar terms are discussed. For example, the term racism is defined, different forms of racism are described, and the differences between the words racism and discrimination are delineated. Other terms discussed include: stereotype, sexism, prejudice, segregation, genocide, institutional discrimination, classicism, homophobia, lookism, ableism, ageism, and hate groups. The section about hate groups discusses white supremacists, anti-Christian groups, anti-Semitic groups, anti-Muslim groups, and anti-men or anti-women groups. The last section of the video describes ways to combat racism and discrimination. As a teaching tool, this video would be useful for multicultural or diversity education classes, for Black History and Women's History month, or for any class studying these topics. Teachers should be aware that some of the video clips contain gruesome images from the Holocaust as well as potentially violent scenes where actors are shown in hostile situations.-Pat Bender, The Shipley School, Bryn Mawr, PA (c) Copyright 2010.

Library Journal-Rezension
Bioterror is a serious look at the development and use of biological weapons. Judith Miller, Stephen Engelberg, and William Broad, all well-known investigative reporters, take the viewer into the world where science has developed a weapon more powerful and deadly than the SMART bomb and hand grenade. The unprecedented attacks on New York City and Washington, DC, in September 2001 brought about a new concern as the first anthrax attacks on American soil set off a firestorm of fear and confusion. Bioterror is not hype, nor is it steeped in innuendo. It is an authoritative, up-to-the-minute study of this ever-evolving threat. During the course of the Cold War, the United States and the then Soviet Union were secretly engaged in the development and testing of biological weapons. Unfortunately, as pointed out here, so, too, have other countries, and many bioweapons experts then and now are taking their skills to the highest bidder-regardless of the ultimate use of their creations. Presented in a straightforward manner, the video depicts the problems of defending our country from such attacks and finding the means necessary to protect ourselves. It also takes a serious look at the United States and its past and current role in the development of biological weapons and their delivery systems. It is a disturbing and thought-provoking search for answers in our quest to uncover the many clandestine links to today's terrorists groups and how we ended up where we are with respect to this threat to our safety, security, and way of life. Highly recommended for academic and public library collections.-LaRoi Lawton, Library & Learning Resources Dept., Bronx Community Coll., NY (c) Copyright 2010.
