"Producing a Great Textbook With the Help of a Developmental Editor," BioScience Volume 46 (October 1996), Number 9. Pages 691-694. Hart, himself a developmental editor, draws on interviews with fellow D.E.'s to explain their important although often-invisible role in textbook authoring. He makes a point that the changing economics of publishing have given developmental editors more responsibility. (jv) Earl Hautala. "Textbook-Writers Promote Religious Tales as 'History'." Textbook Letter, Volume 11, Numbers 1 and 2 (March-April and May-June 2000). Hautala, research manager for the Textbook League, a watchdog organization, criticizes both Human Heritage: A World History (Glencoe) and Joy Hakim's A History of US (Oxford University Press), for picking up religious fables and folk tales, mostly from the Bible but some, he argues, from whole cloth, and passing them off as verifiable historical fact. Many assertions in both books have long been debunked by biblical scholars, he says. The Glencoe book is marketed for high school use, Hakim for upper-elementary and midle school use. L.
