Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a popular series of children's textbooks that were innovative for their time by incorporating elements of natural science into reading lessons. The author analyzes the science content of these textbooks and comes to the conclusion that they are not as scientifically rigorous as they claim to be. The author points out a number of errors in the books and argues that they may lead students to develop misconceptions about science. The book also discusses the broader educational and cultural context in which these textbooks were published, and argues that they reflect the changing attitudes towards science education in the 19th century. The book concludes by suggesting that these textbooks may have had a negative impact on science education in the United States, and that they should be used with caution in today's classrooms.
