Yeager and Davis highlight the rich and ambitious teaching that can occur in the broad context of state-level testing. In this book, the chapter authors and I bring the particular state history tests more to the fore and examine how teachers are responding to them.

In this bold book, Samuel Cohen asserts the literary and historical importance of the period between the fall of the Berlin wall and that of the Twin Towers in New York. With refreshing clarity, he examines six 1990s novels and two post-9/11 novels that explore the impact of the end of the Cold War: Pynchon's "Mason & Dixon", Roth's "American Pastoral", Morrison's "Paradise", O'Brien's "In the Lake of the Woods", Didion's "The Last Thing He Wanted", Eugenides' "Middlesex", Lethem's "Fortress of Solitude", and DeLillo's "Underworld".
