College Textbooks in American History: Brickbats and Bouquets.
Foster, Carrie; Rickert-Epstein, Connie
History Teacher, v22 n1 p39-48 Nov 1988
Analyzes seven college-level U.S. history survey texts to determine the deteriorating quality of college history textbooks. Focuses on three areas: (1) the simplification of style and content, (2) indications of implicit censorship, and (3) the lack of a thematic structure which would contribute to the students' understanding of history.
