Fleming, Dan B.; McAuley, William J.
Educational Gerontology, v13 n5 p375-85 1987
Examined the treatment of Social Security, civil rights, political power, and population trends in 19 secondary schools' United States history and government textbooks. Found that only Social Security was given adequate treatment. Concluded that the coverage of aging issues in secondary textbooks was generally weak and insufficient. (Author/NB)
