Recommended age: 10 - 13 years. We know about Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. But we owe nearly as much to Galen, a physician born in 129 A.D. at the height of the Roman Empire. Galen's acute diagnoses of patients, his botanical wisdom and studies of physiology were recorded in numerous books, handed down through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. He developed sports medicine, doctoring gladiators. Not least, Galen passed on the medical tradition of respect for life. In this fascinating biography for young people, Jeanne Bendick brings Galen's Roman world alive with the clarity, humor, and outstanding content we enjoyed in Archimedes and the Door to Science. An excellent addition to schools, libraries, and homes; ideal for home education.
This book explores the beneficial impact of pedagogically updated
practices and approaches in the teaching of science concepts as
well as elaborates on future challenges and emerging issues that
address Science and Technology Education. By pointing out new
research directions it informs educational practices and bridges
the gap between research and practice providing information, ideas
and new perspectives. The book also promotes discussions and
networking among scientists and stakeholders such as researchers,
professors, students and companies developing educational software
and ICT tools. The volume presents papers from the First
International Conference on "New Developments in Science and
Technology Education" (1st NDSTE) that was structured around four
main thematic axes Modern Pedagogies in Science and Technology
Education, New Technologies in Science and Technology Education,
Teaching and Learning in the light of Inquiry learning Methods and
Interest, Attitude and Motivation in Science.
