The source directly above these comments is excellent because the author synthesizes ideas from Hirsch and Bloom.



Reference: Good Society Journal; 2008, Vol. 17 Issue 2, p49-55, 7p Great Article! Reference: American Scholar; Winter89, Vol. 58 Issue 1, p123, 9p Another great article from an even better journal--the only journal I actually subscribed to! This source raises an interesting issue because generally book reviews are not considered sources. However, book reviews in scholarly journals often function as critical interpretations of the work. As a result, the review actually filters the text with a transparent bias (generally the purpose of the journal or magazine). While a book review can't replace actually reading the book, a critical review serves as a secondary source, if published in a scholarly source like this journal. Another excellent scholarly source. Fascinating article that I only had time to skim. Probably not useful for our class assignments but I personally will come back to the article over the summer. An intriguing synthesis of three books, including Hirsch and Bloom. A number of scholars reviewed both Bloom and Hirsch. Somehow only the cover page was saved. Therefore, this document won't help unless you follow the breadcrumb trail and look up the article yourself.

Good.
