Science for All Americans
"This text should be read by all pre-service and in service teachers, no matter what their major discipline.  The content is relevant, readable, and addresses the issues that must be included in our science programs at all levels.  If only current science texts were as succinct I am certain students would want to consider science and science-related courses."--Norman E. Dee, Lesley College"The content of the text follows the title beautifully."--James M. Migaki, Washington State University"Very good source for promoting thinking about the present and future of science in American society."--Duane Inman, Ph.D., Northwestern State University"Excellent overview of issues for graduate students."--Dr. Catherine Commins, Louisiana State University"An outline for comprehensive reform of science education that is based on a sound conceptual base." --Gerald Skoog, Texas Tech University"Very readable."--Leo R. Finkenbinder, Southern Nazarene University"Provides the type of background information needed by non-science majors who wish to teach.  The principles and concepts discussed in this book form the information both parents and teachers should have.  I would recommend this resource to beginning teachers, parents, older individuals who change careers to enter teaching, and others."--Marjorie W. Lee, Howard University"Very clearly written....It provides an understandable rationale for scientific literacy but also provides clear, identifiable standards for teaching." --Reene Alley, College of Education, University of Akron"An excellent presentation of basic science that should be required reading for all candidates for a teaching credential.  It is clear, concise, and readable.  Congratulations."--Walter F. Marshall, Point Loma Nazarene College"A comprehensive report on how to reform the U.S. education system to provide students with adequate training in science, mathematics and technology.  The authors focus on Project 2061, an initiative sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science to increase children's scientific literacy and prepare them for the world that will exist when Halley's Comet returns in 2061. Includes recommendations about what future generations should know in these areas as well as specific reform suggestions."--Science News
