摘要
The people of the Red Cross (and in Muslim countries, the Red Crescent) make a lifesaving difference to victims of war, famine, natural disasters, and other crises. Two international organizations (the International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) tackle worldwide problems, such as the spread of AIDS. National societies, including the American Red Cross, offer blood donation services, health and safety courses, and other ongoing programs. This informative book reveals how these remarkable humanitarian organizations span cultures to reach people in need everywhere.

Gr 5-8Red Cross relates the history of the organization and explains the work that it does throughout the world; however, Michael Pollard's The Red Cross and the Red Crescent (New Discovery/Silver Burdett, 1994) provides a better treatment of the topic. United Nations explains who refugees are and outlines a brief history of modern international efforts to help them. There is a discussion of how refugees escape from their situations, what the camps are like, resettlement, and speculation about their future. Both of these series entries are concise and have attractive full-color and black-and-white photographs. Lists of organizations are appended.

Examining the history of accomplishments of the International Committee of the Red Cross (the Red Crescent in Islamic countries) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, these broad overviews are supported by anecdotal evidence of the benevolent assistance they provide during times of war or disaster. A list of organizations is included in both books. Illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs. Ind. (c) Copyright 2010.

Gr. 5^-7. These two titles in a series describing international humanitarian organizations provide historical overviews, outline the reasons behind an organization's founding, profile important people in the organization, and vividly describe current efforts to help people in the struggle for improved lives and living conditions. Identical in format, the books have readable, straightforward texts and are accompanied by a combination of full-color and black-and-white photographs. For larger libraries or those looking to bolster 300s shelves. --April Judge
