#325173 Letteratura straniera saggi e critica

Cultural literacy. What every american needs to know.

Author:
Publisher: Houghton Miffin Company.
Date of publ.:
Details: cm.14,5x21,5, pp.252, legatura editoriale cartonata, sopraccoperta figurata a colori.

Abstract: In this forceful manifesto Professor E. D. Hirsch, Jr., argues that children in the United States are being deprived of the basic knowledge that would enable them to function in contemporary society. They lack cultural literacy: a grasp of background information that writers and speakers assume their audience already has. Even if a student has a basic competence in the English language, he or she has little chance of entering the American mainstream without knowing what a silicon chip is, or when the Civil War was fought. An important work that has engendered a nationwide debate on our educational standards, Cultural Literacy is a required reading for anyone concerned with our future as a literate nation.

#242826 Aeronautica
Paris, Atlas 2005, cm.24,5x30, pp.240, ill.col. relié avec jaquette. Coll. L'Atlas. Cet ouvrage superbement illustré remonte à l'époque charnière de l'après-guerre pour évoquer ensuite la création de la Strategic Air Command, la saga du vol vertical et la dynastie des avions Dassault en France. Les avancées technologiques dans la sphère militaire favorisent au cours des années 50 l'essor des premiers avions de ligne à réaction et ouvrent la voie au futur développement d'appareils supersoniques ultra-sophistiqués tel le Concorde ou son jumeau soviétique, le Tupolev Tu-144.
