Percy, William A.; Suarez, Pedro J.
International Journal of Social Education, v5 n3 p48-71 Win 1990-91
Discusses a follow-up examination of leading Western civilization and world history textbooks. Argues that the books have changed little over seven years. Identifies improvements but finds little alteration in the books' basic designs and interpretations. Concludes that the books' treatment of literature, art, philosophy, political science, and leading historical figures is inadequate. (SG)
