Summary "Few studies have addressed the quality of science curriculum materials, particularly textbooks, from a critical perspective. In this light, we are concerned in this book with better understanding the reading and interpretation practices related to visual materials - here referred to as inscriptions - that accompany text. Our overarching questions included: 'What practices are required for reading inscriptions?' and 'Do textbooks allow students to develop levels of graphicacy required to critically read scientific texts?'."--Jacket
