– THE STORIES TEXTBOOKS TELL –

Textbook History started as a journal of social history as filtered through twentieth century American biology textbooks. Inspired by the work of Jim Endersby ,  John Rudolph ,  Donna J. Drucker , and  Ronald L. Numbers , among other notable historians, it has evolved into an exploration of the intersection of popular history, popular science and popular culture since the industrial revolution.

It can get a little weedy. So, I thought I’d provide a short sampler of the more approachable stories found here.
