      abstract = {"Inside the Black Box of Classroom Practice takes as its  starting point a strikingly blunt question: "With so many  major structural changes in U.S. public schools over the  past century, why have classroom practices been largely  stable, with a modest blending of new and old teaching  practices, leaving contemporary classroom lessons familiar  to earlier generations of school-goers?" It is a question  that ought to be of paramount interest to all who are  interested in school reform in the United States. It is  also a question that comes naturally to Larry Cuban, whose  much-admired books have focused on various aspects of  school reform--their promises, wrong turns, partial  successes, and troubling failures. In this book, he returns  to this territory, but trains his focus on the still  baffling fact that policy reforms--no matter how ambitious  or determined--have generally had little effect on  classroom conduct and practice." -- Publisher's website.},
