Handbook on Population, 5th Ed.
by Robert L. Sassone
Self-published, 1994; 118 pp.

The fifth edition of Robert Sassone's Handbook on Population is a most 
impressive piece of work. It contains an enormous amount of valuable 
information in a very small volume - I know of nothing like it. I 
thought I knew the literature in the field rather well, but in just the 
first few minutes I read it, I picked up a couple of lovely and useful 
tidbits.

Most important, Sassone gets just about everything right. Furthermore, 
he has done an extraordinary amount of work updating all the tables and 
figures since his last edition. The data should be considered up to 
date even by the pickiest journalist. (The notion of "old data" is 
almost completely nonsense anyway; things don't change in a couple of 
decades.)

It will be a great pleasure to see the Handbook in print again soon, 
reaching thousands of people with its important data and ideas. It does 
a wonderful job.

Is the Fetus Human?
by Eric Pastuszek

TAN Books, 1993; 76 pp.

For more than two decades the pro-life movement has worked 
to convince the American people that the child in the womb is 
obviously a human being needing legal protection. Now they have another 
weapon in their battle to change hearts and minds - Eric Pastuszek's 
new book, Is the Fetus Human?

Pastuszek addresses this question  by gathering evidence from 
biological, medical, emotional, legal, cultural and social 
perspectives. This thorough examination of the abortion crisis helps 
pro-lifers refute the hollow arguments of those who ignore the facts 
about the person in the womb. The book includes not only basic biology 
and fetology, but statements from former abortionists, photos of 
preborn babies at various stages of development, extensive research on 
post-abortion syndrome, an overview of the present legal climate, 
biblical evidence to support the personhood of the preborn and an 
overview of the increasing social resistance to abortion through 
non-violent direct action.

Is the Fetus Human? offers pro-lifers, especially those who are new to 
the movement, a powerful tool to refute the pro-abortionists. The book 
also serves as an excellent resource book for students - it should be 
in every school library! Whether you are preparing to debate a 
pro-abortion activist, write a letter to the editor, or convince that 
confused friend that a person really does live in the womb during 
pregnancy, Is the Fetus Human? gives you a full overview of the 
overwhelming evidence to prove that the preborn child is very much 
human.
