Recenzii

[K]ent-Drury offers a long-awaited and much-needed tool for teachers and instructors of high school and college world literature. The text is a resource for those educators who have received one too many papers based on poor information gleaned from Internet resources..[a]n excellent primary reference text. Kent-Drury's volume is the latest of the Libraries Unlimited series that offers creative assistance for high school and college teachers in the area of Critical Thinking. Although the text is most readily a resource, it would be an excellent complimentary tool for a pedagogical course for instructors.
This title gathers quality Web sites together in one place and amkes suggestions for activities to do with students..Teachers would be impressed by the ease of looking up a topic in the index and finding a quality site to use with their students.
The number of sites presented is substantial and the quality of the imformation provided is outstanding. Sites range from The Ancient Olympic Games Virtual Musuem to Middle Eastern Mystical Poetry to World Art Web Kiosk. This resource will be most valuable for teachers of world history and literature and their students. Other works in this series will be of invaluable assistance to teachers in other disciplines.
