"... Key Curriculum Press, Discovering Algebra, An Ivestigative Approach, by Murdock, Kamischke, & Kamischke. Along with a committee filling two columns on page ii, including five Multicultural and Equity Reviewers, two Social Sciences and Humanities reviewers, and, get this, three Scientific Content Reviewers, and one Accuracy Checkers (sic!). Seven hundred pages of irrelevant color pictures (e.g., Elvis impersonators) with inane captions (e.g., "Dead skin cells are one of the components of dust.")..." You never did identify the school district where this book was used.
