"SCIENCE LITERACY FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY deals with a topic of great importance to our future and the essays in this book present a concise overview of the problems faced by today's society. The authors, who are scientists, educators, and other leaders engaged in improving science literacy, have highlighted innovative experimental approaches to overcoming many obstacles.
Dedicating this book to Leon Lederman for his eightieth birthday is a wonderful gift to a man who has untiringly led the way to improving science literacy with a creative and lighthearted flair. I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone interested in improving the education of future generations." -- Paul H.
Knappenberger, Ph.D., President, Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, Chicago "These timely and reflective essays bring together in a single volume the thoughts and experiences of some of the most creative minds and well-respected scientists and educators in the country. . . . This book is about the full spectrum of questions and issues that surround modern scientific literacy. . . .
It's a 'must' for all who teach science or who otherwise make decisions with the potential to support or impede greater scientific literacy in these modern times." -- Dr. Diane M. Spresser, Acting Director, Division of Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education, National Science Foundation
