Would it depend on where you get your information from?  I don't 
understand why you want to limit a classroom to one book, when one can 
go to the internet system and have your choice of many?  Not all 
scientific information is limited to NASA.  I believe that there are a 
few other research institutions elsewhere?  Do you realize that 
educators actually argued about the outcome of having pictures in 
textbooks?
