School disciplines and their books

Abstract

The book Las disciplinas escolares y sus libros compilated by Luz Elena Galván Lafarga and Lucía Martínez Moctezuma is an important contribution to the study of school subjects and its development in Mexico during the last two centuries. The most important aspect of the articles of this book is the analysis of content of different books and school texts, which were used to teach in the formative levels of the educational system. The book is divided in three parts: one dedicated to the teach of history and civic values, a second one about the natural sciences and finally one for the teach of basic skills of reading and writing.
