About the Book: Teaching History
Six essays included in this volume present interfaces between academic and
experiential and between teacher and the taught. All authors share their first
hand experiences of teaching history to school students or such students who do
history in the first year of their collegiate programme at the undergraduate
level. We get to read An Insiders Account, A Classroom Experience, a mothers
travail of taking a teen-aged son out of boredom of studying SST, and so on.
These essays embark upon the hazardous venture of discussing parameters of
scientific history at a time when the professional scientists are raising
question marks about science
