<P>Hi all,</P></DIV>
<P>As a PhD student I am doing a historical survey of 2 "remnants" of middle school or high school which are atleast 30 yrs apart. So, for example I would like to compare 2 textbooks in Geometry. I could use textbooks that originally were meant for students in the U.K.I am thinking of comparing an old textbook in Euclidean Geometry written by Palmer and Parr(which I currently have). The problem is that I do not know what is taught in place of this book at the present moment in U.K schools(since I am in the U.S)..and how can I access it in the U.S. The brief purpose of this project is to compare and contrast educational practices that are atleast 30 years apart.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>If anybody has any thoughts on this, I would really appreciate a response.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>Thanks for your time,</P>
<DIV></DIV>
