From the first gleam in Lee’s eye to the last Rebel hightailing it back across the Potomac, every moment of the battle is brought to life with the vivid narrative skill and impeccable scholarship that has made Stephen Sears’s other histories so successful. Based on years of research, this is the first book in a generation that brings everything together, sorts it all out, makes informed judgments, and takes stands.  Even the most knowledgeable of Civil War buffs will find fascinating new material and new interpretations, and Sears’s famously accessible style will make the book just as appealing to the general reader.  It is replete with 544 pages and 67 black and white illustrations.  This is the one book on Gettysburg that should be available to all middle school and secondary students and to teachers of American history.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com"><U>www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="6b145350.png" border=0 width="581" height="53" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id22_m.htm" TITLE="Books for Teachers"><U>Back to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0550b120.png" border=0 width="11" height="18" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="7056ca20.gif" border=0 width="108" height="162" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="1" VSPACE="0"><FONT SIZE="6" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Calibri" ><I><B>Handbook for Teaching</B></I></FONT></div> <div> <I><B>Secondary School Social Studies</B></I><I><B> </B></I></div> <div> Globalization, technological advances, and demographic shifts have changed our economy. It is imperative that we understand the fundamental shifts in an economic situation so new that we can barely comprehend it, and yet we must devise new ways of educating our high school students to succeed in this new economy.

Its intention is to help teachers become creative practitioners who can motivate students, create stimulating learning environments, and bring the core disciplines of social studies to life. Its goal, in effect, is to help teachers make social scientists of their students. The information contained in this book will enable teachers to become the catalyst for students’ transformation into cognizant, con?dent citizens capable of making a difference in our world.</div> <div> The handbook is brief and manageable, yet it provides pre-service and in-service teachers with comprehensive and in-depth coverage of research-based pedagogy, planning skills, standards-based instructional delivery approaches, and grade-level expectations for the core disciplines of the social studies.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.waveland.com"
