Introduction
I could identify with the author in the introduction when he said that History has to be enlivened and not just a bunch of dates. History has to be all inclusive and as instructors we have to be comfortable enough with ourselves to allow our students to explore. The textbook is a tool, but it is not the final authority.

I agree that the textbook is a tool. I have so many books that I use. I may only use a chart, photo, or a paragraph, but together they make a lesson. There is no authoritative book to use for teaching history. To be a good teacher you must be able to pick and choose the useful information for your classes.
