These textbooks presents content without personally relevant contexts, and focus on the structure of the different disciplines and on the generalizations currently accepted by the professionals. Often these generalizations are abstract, and they are important and attractive only to practicing scientists. [Published by Yager & Lutz in School Science and Mathematics (1995)]
