Reading LIke a Historian (Teachers College Press, 2011), a guide that reaches beyond textbooks to teach ''historical reading'' with middle and high school students, was named one of the "Best of the Best" in university press books for public and secondary school libraries by the Association of American University Presses.

The book is featured in the 22nd edition of University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries, a bibliography that is sent to public and secondary school libraries nationally. The guide was spotlighted at this summer's American Library Association's Annual Conference in the program, "The Best of the Best from University Presses: Books You Should Know About." Written by the founders of Stanford History Education Group-- Prof. Sam Wineburg, Daisy Martin, and Chauncey Monte-Sano--Reading Like a Historian shows readers how to apply Wineburg's acclaimed approach to teaching in the classroom to increase academic literacy and spark students' curiosity.
