Synopsis
From the jacketflap:
In 1987, the highly acclaimed book Cultural Literacy by E. D. Hirsch, Jr., described "exactly what the basics are and exactly why it is necessary to get back to them" [ Newsweek ]. In 1988, the best-selling Dictionary of Cultural Literacy gathered the information every adult American should know. Now, after consulting with hundreds of teachers, Dr. Hirsch defines the core knowledge our children need in order to begin understanding American culture and to enhance their progress in school.
