Book Description
Textbooks are an important part of the teaching in secondary education classroom, particularly for teaching world history. They provide the basis for almost all points of discussion and learning. The study focuses on students' assessment of their textbook in the areas of content bias, visual organization and readability and how these affect students' overall attitude toward the study of world history. A survey was administered to students to assess their world history textbooks. The survey covered the following areas: content, bias, visual organization, readability, and student interest levels in history. The researcher hypothesized that textbooks had a negative impact on student attitudes toward the study of history. This hypothesis was not supported by the data obtained from the study. Rather, it was found that not only did the subjects have a high level of interest in the study of history but they also did not feel the textbook, although important in studying history, influenced their attitudes toward history.

Book Description
There are so many books on so many aspects of the history of the United States, offering such a wide variety of interpretations, that students, teachers, scholars, and librarians often need help and advice on how to find what they want. The Reader's Guide to American History is designed to meet that need by adopting a new and constructive approach to the appreciation of this rich historiography. Each of the 600 entries on topics in political, social and economic history describes and evaluates some 6 to 12 books on the topic, providing guidance to the reader on everything from broad surveys and interpretive works to specialized monographs. The entries are devoted to events and individuals, as well as broader themes, and are written by a team of well over 200 contributors, all scholars of American history.
