Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A superior book. . . . Many readers will be surprised to see that today's arguments about history education follow the culture wars that go back to almost the beginning of the republic. Moreau's writing is engaging, with brilliant flashes of insight, as well as balance and wit." -Gary B. Nash, Director of the National Center for History in the Schools Taking Frances FitzGerald's textbook study America Revised as a point of departure, Joseph Moreau in Schoolbook Nation challenges FitzGerald's premise that the 1960s were the beginning of the end of the glory days of American history education. Moreau recounts how in the late twentieth century, cultural commentators such as historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and politician Newt Gingrich preached that a new identity crisis had shaken American history in the sixties, and that the grand unified view of our past had given way to various interest groups, who dismantled the old national narrative while demanding a more "inclusive" curriculum for their children. Moreau discovered, however, that American history, while grand, has never been unified. Delving into more than 100 history books from the last 150 years, the author reveals that the efforts of pressure groups to influence the history curriculum are nearly as old as the mustiest textbook. "For those who would influence textbooks and teaching-Protestant elites in the 1870s, Irish-Americans in the 1920s, and conservative politicians today-the sky has always been falling," according to Moreau. Schoolbook Nation offers a history lesson of its own: when the story of the past is written or rewritten, truth is often a victim. With its comprehensive treatment of the subjects of honesty and politics in the teaching of history, this is an essential book on the side of truth in a complex debate.

Download or read book History of American Schoolbooks written by Charles Carpenter and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lineage of American schoolbooks, like that of our educational system, goes back to Europe and, particularly, to England. The first schoolbooks used in the United States were printed in England and for two hundred years a great influx of books came from sources outside this country. However, with the break from England and the emergence of the United States as a nation, text book publishing came into being in America. This book presents a general portrayal of American textbooks, and along with this, as a requisite accompaniment, a picture of the pioneer-day school system insofar as it had to do with production and early usage of schoolbooks. The author shows how the first textbooks came to be, tells of textbook writers, and traces through the bulk of the material presented the changes that most of the textbook authors brought about. The types of books discussed include the New England primers as well as other types of primers; readers, specially the McGuffey readers; rhetoric and foreign language books; arithmetics; spelling books; literature texts; elocution texts; handwriting and copy books; histories; and many other books that made our school systems what they are today. Besides being a study of the textbook field in America, History of American Schoolbooks is also a history of the United States as reflected in the type of teaching and instructional aids used to educate Americans. A study of this subject is by no means just an interesting side trip into America's past. Many of the books are still influential, and many of the old methods are staging a comeback in the educational field, History of American Schoolbooks should be of interest to educators and historians, as well as teachers, librarians, book collectors, publishers, and general readers who are interested in the evolution and growth of a segment of education and educational publishing that is one of the most important and vital in our country.

Download or read book 1620 written by Peter W. Wood and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When and where was America founded? Was it in Virginia in 1619, when a pirate ship landed a group of captive Africans at Jamestown? So asserted the New York Times in August 2019 when it announced its 1619 Project. The Times set out to transform history by tracing American institutions, culture, and prosperity to that pirate ship and the exploitation of African Americans that followed. A controversy erupted, but the Times didn’t back down. Instead the authors ballooned their original magazine supplement into a 600-page book. Peter Wood’s 1620 was a point-by-point response to the 1619 Project. He argued that the proper starting point for the American story is 1620, with the signing of the Mayflower Compact aboard ship before the Pilgrims set foot in the Massachusetts wilderness. The quintessential ideas of American self-government and ordered liberty grew from the deliberate actions of those Mayflower immigrants. In this new edition of 1620, Wood brings the story up to date, including the glittering prizes for 1619 pseudo-history, the deepening disputes, and the roles played by Presidents Trump and Biden. Much of the controversy involves education. Schools across the country raced to adopt the Times’ radical revision of history as part of their curricula. Parents in many districts have rebelled. Should children be taught that America is a four-hundred-year-old system of racist oppression? Or should they learn that what has always made America exceptional is our pursuit of liberty and justice for all?

Download or read book Wasting Time as Time Wastes Me written by Ken Willidau and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-06-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for people who are in a race against time to waste as much of it in their lives, as possible, before time wastes them, Wasting Time As Time Wastes Me contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers one more way to waste even more time, to show time that you are not going to stand for it, wasting you, while you can sit around reading a book wasting it. A stand-off for all times from birth to death. Willidau has reached back into the waste bins of history to find anything that was a worthy competitor of time that he wasted away for himself. Ken Willidaus philosophy is that if it was a waste of living life once, it cant do any harm wasting any more of it reading this book, to make it look like you did it with purpose and vision. Willidau wastes more of his time writing about the complete waste it was and isnt blaming fate, now, and instead is taking responsibility for his own inactions. Chapters pick through the wasteland looking for anything that made them worth documenting, in the first place, and seeing if theres nothing that could be built on, now, as a strategy against time. Among them, Time of Discovery, Family Time, TV Time, Past Primetime, and Times Up make the timeframe one of those never-in-a-lifetime experiences. The time is wasted with hollow words and a pointless heap of jokes using wit, dark humour, wasted comedic pauses, plays on words, hands-in-pockets humour, and double entendre humour. Wasting your time with Ken will have you sitting around wondering where all your time went as you spend it wasting more of your life on someone elses idea of it, for himself. Wasting Time As Time Wastes Me is a perfect read for those times you have it to waste, and you might as well waste it on someone elses waste of it than think about ways of wasting yourself. Times already got its sights on you and theres nothing you can do about it, so you might as well just get used to it, one way or the other. Lets get wasted.
