And why we don't have them, is the title of a book written by E.D. Hirsch waaaaay back in 1966. I just purchased a copy of it and it looks just as relevant today as it was back then. Nothing new under the sun...

Check out these section headings from the book:

Failed theories, Famished minds

Intellectual Capital: A Civil Right

An Impregnable Fortress

Test Evasion

Those are just a few of the many headings and in each one are subtitles. It looks amazing and I can't wait to sink my teeth in. Also kind of cool is that we share a name. He had it first, although I didn't know it, or maybe I did and it was sub-conscious, at any rate, I'll keep you posted as I go and give a book report when I'm done.
