What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
As a factual encyclopedia, the book is secular and direct. It may contain historically accurate but potentially sensitive illustrations, such as horses used in warfare or for hunting. These topics are presented matter-of-factly, without emotional weight. There is no overarching narrative or resolution; it is a reference book.
