Regester, Charlene

Reading Improvement, v28 n1 p14-25 Spr 1991

Examines the verbal and visual content of two widely used United States history textbooks from the 1950s and the 1980s. Finds that the 1980s textbooks do not contain significantly more visuals nor any less narrative and expository content than did those of the 1950s. (RS)
