Cover: Covers, 2008-present.

This array of recent covers from The History Teacher includes Volume 42 (2008-2009) through Volume 45 (2011-2012). Noticeably absent from this depiction is the "final" issue, an absence that symbolizes the concepts that the historical process is never "complete" and that historical chronology involves the past, the present, and the future.

These and additional covers are available at the Society's website at www.SocietyForHistoryEducation.org, with information about each issue and each cover, as well as links to downloadable images and copyright-free libraries where available.

This issue of The History Teacher reflects upon the history and development of the journal itself, featuring William Weber's "The Evolution of The History Teacher and the Reform of History Education," beginning on page 329.
