The Making of "Textbooks" Today

The Making of Textbooks Today
Dr Abe V Rotor

There are 83 articles in this compilation of articles from the professor's lectures, students' researches and home assignments, all made possible with the computer through on-line and modular system, including Blog, Facebook and the like that constitute today's teaching tools and aids. This Pocket Guide is a compilation made by Miss Elizabeth Hashim-Arenas, a faculty member of UST who was then pursuing a doctoral degree in biology.  Entomology is the science about insects.

Environmental Science - An Experiential and Integrated Approach, was compiled by Ms Maria Manuela P. Ordoñez a college professor at San Sebastian College Recoletos de Cavite, who was then pursuing MS Chemistry Education. The "textbook" comprises seven (7) chapters with a total number of 100 articles, downloaded and printed mainly from the author's blog avrotor.blogspot.com, which to the present continually expands with more articles from theses and dissertations, scientific and technical papers, and media broadcasts (e.g. Paaralang Bayan sa Himppapawid, and TATAKalikasan AdMU-Radyo Katipunan),
