The Burden of History.
Wunsch, James
Phi Delta Kappan, v75 n6 p492-93 Feb 1994
Although schoolchildren daily move veritable mountains of textbooks, these heavy tomes may not be worth the effort. The modern text is particularly damaging to TV-inundated students who know little of the rewards and pleasures of reading. Soft-cover books printed in black and white and authored by professional writers would be more cost effective and appealing. (MLH)
