The Visual Turn and the Transformation of the Textbook by James A Laspina
A study and analysis of how the computer is transforming the textbook and our modes of literacy from print-based to visual forms."..this is a thought-provoking book, and the questions it rises merit careful consideration and further research attention."
—British Journal of Educational Psychology
"The first book I know of that tries to show the transition from the modern to the postmodern textbook. The basic idea of going at how the computer is transforming the textbook and our modes of literacy is very interesting and important."
—Eugene F. Provenzo, Jr.

"...Interesting on several levels. The [Houghton Mifflin K-8 social studies textbook series] around which the author wraps his book has generated a good deal of drama....LaSpina recognizes these aspects of the text's publication and selection in California and the subsequent controversy, then shifts the reader's focus away from the politics of publication to the 'visual turn' of the text....A one-of-a-kind book..."
