Follow-up on yesterday’s post on disasters: Looking at the sale books at the New York Times site, I discovered this one on sale: The New York Times Book of Natural Disasters. $8.48, while supplies last.
Tuesday’s Science sections in the Times are weekly delights. This series of books on one topic contains several that I use regularly (especially archaeology and fossils). Generally these books hold some of the best articles by the stable of thoroughbred science writers on the topic at hand.
Did I say “science?” Social studies teachers need to know science, too.
