The present book is different from all others on the subject in as much as it deals with the description of the content of teaching, presents a brief history of the developments in teaching modes and lastly describes the activity called 'Teaching' itself. None of the part is on the all too familiar lines. For instance, when the book deals with the content of teaching in Part 1; it tries to correct and update the content of the present day teaching of a problem For instance, it questions the common assumption that if Macaulay had not come or written his Minutes the teaching of English language would not have become either compulsory or popular. The book argues that it is not so. The underlying principles a popular language follows are: (a) 'the language of the ruler is the language of the ruled too' and (b) "that language is more acceptable to people, which gives them their bread and butter". It is a realty which needs no Macaulay to get identified with. Part 2 of the book deals with the developments in educational technology and a reality which poses a challenge to teacher education; and Part 3 deals with the Nature of Teaching-a terse subject.
