This edition expands on the original publication from the late-1970s, Curriculum Books: The First Eighty Years. It covers some 3,000 curriculum books appearing in the U.S. from roughly 1900 to 2000, used to educate school administrators, teachers, aspiring educators, educational scholars, and the wider public about curriculum. Each chapter focuses on a single decade, providing background on the sociocultural, intellectual, artistic, and scientific developments of the time; a discussion of major curriculum movements, trends, books, and authors; and yearly bibliographies of curriculum books published in that decade. The second edition includes two new chapters covering the 1980s and 1990s, new commentary woven into the original introduction, and a new concluding chapter.
