The writer is especially helpful in pointing out different ways we can begin to employ a book many collegians encounter first in high school ( … it is for these reasons - that Orwell’s is a changeless society, that such a society is an impossibility, and that nevertheless it continues to be attempted - that Nineteen Eighty-Four is required reading for my course on social and cultural change.") }, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={WEINSTEIN, JAY}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
