Theme of 16 pages of reproduction newspapers are unique and exciting new social studies help allowing students to read history the day of drying of inking. Periodic thematic play carefully integrate current orthodoxy textbooks with original covers of newspapers across America. Comments by Professor John Rathbun, "we know what has happened, but not what's going to happen." When the history books and other related publications are written, the historian knows not only in the past, but also in the future beyond the events and decisions represented. This extra knowledge is determined, to a large extent, what is included in current textbooks and their underlying performances. "Newspapers, on the other hand, are written without knowing what will happen and provide a pure image of a single day in time."
