At the start of the new millennium, mankind is challenged by a
paradox: the greater the apparent knowledge becomes, the greater
the uncertainty in understanding and predicting how the world works
appears. This book presents the outline of a new basis of Systems
Science and a methodology for its applications in complex
environmental, economic, social, and technological systems.
Did you know there were tiny living things in your home that you
can't see? Some are plants, others are mould, others are tiny
little insects! But what do they do and what do they look like?
Find out about the good ones and the bad ones! Full-page
photographs of these alien-like creatures in high magnification
reveals their horror (or even their beauty). This book supports
natural history studies and the KS2 and KS3 science curriculum
where appropriate. It is part of a series, Micro Monsters which
takes a close-up look at the tiny creatures that are around us all
the time and which we cannot see with the naked eye. Some are
harmless, some are just pests, and some are deadly. From bedbugs to
zooplankton and from bacteria to water fleas, all microscopic life
is here. The revelation of the places these creatures inhabit will
have readers squirming in their seats as they find out how these
mini monsters can help and hinder humans. These high-interest books
are accessible to readers aged 7+, but suitable for older readers
who prefer less text on the page, and support natural history
studies and the science curriculum at Key Stage 2 and 3. Each book
features revealing close-up photos of micro monsters that are sure
to dazzle and intrigue.
Neanderthals in the Classroom examines the ongoing battle
surrounding evolution from a cultural and historical perspective
and then puts Theodosius Dobzhansky's claim that "nothing in
biology makes sense except in the light of evolution" to the
ultimate test by exploring the potential evolutionary roots of this
societal and educational clash over human origins. In examining the
biological roots of the conflict, Watts demonstrates how
understanding our inner Neanderthal allows us to consciously choose
more highly evolved forms of communication as a means of
alleviating societal division and creating space for more effective
science education. Key Features: Introduces readers to the
multifaceted world of evolution education. Describes the complex
interplay between religious beliefs and science as well as the
clash of false information and formal education. Offers an overview
of the transformation of public opinion of evolution and science
over time in the United States due to the perceived conflict
between science and religion. Examines students' misconceptions
about the theory of evolution and the general nature of scientific
discovery due to the contradictory messages that they receive in
popular culture. Offers potential means to amend misconceptions so
that students and other individuals can integrate evolutionary
theory into their worldviews, regardless of their religious
background.

Mary Leakey was an archaeologist who specialised in searching for
remains of early humans. Jane Goodall is a researcher who has
devoted her life to studying the behaviour of chimpanzees, the ape
thought to be man's closest living relative. Over the course of 50
years, Mary and Jane's discoveries have revolutionised the way that
people think about evolution, increased scientists' understanding
of man's earliest ancestors and proved that humans and apes are not
so different after all. This book explores the life and work of
these two remarkable people. How have some of the most successful
scientific pairings in history changed the advancement of science
and led to discoveries that might never otherwise have been made?
Dynamic Duos of Science explores the fascinating scientific
partnerships between some of the world's leading scientists. From
Darwin and Wallace to Einstein and Eddington, without these
'dynamic pairings' some of the most spectacular discoveries and
critical theories in the history of science might never have been
made. An informative series for children aged 9+.
