defense + Shows that while the “Science Wars“ of the 1990s have
abated, their effects on some of the methodologies in higher
education and the larger population continue + Examines three case
studies to clearly illustrate how reliable scientific knowledge is
secured: • Eratosthenes’ discovery of the circumference of the

Based on the New York Times bestselling book and the Academy
Award-nominated movie, author Margot Lee Shetterly and Coretta
Scott King Illustrator Honor Award winner Laura Freeman bring the
incredibly inspiring true story of four black women who helped NASA
launch men into space to picture book readers! Dorothy Vaughan,
Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at
math...really good. They participated in some of NASA's greatest
successes, like providing the calculations for America's first
journeys into space. And they did so during a time when being black
and a woman limited what they could do. But they worked hard. They
persisted. And they used their genius minds to change the world. In
this beautifully illustrated picture book edition, we explore the
story of four female African American mathematicians at NASA, known
as "colored computers," and how they overcame gender and racial
barriers to succeed in a highly challenging STEM-based career.
"Finally, the extraordinary lives of four African American women
who helped NASA put the first men in space is available for picture
book readers," proclaims Brightly in their article "18 Must-Read
Picture Books of 2018." "Will inspire girls and boys alike to love
math, believe in themselves, and reach for the stars."

This anthology contains selected papers from the 'Science as
Culture' conference held at Lake Como, and Pavia University Italy,
15-19 September 1999. The conference, attended by about 220
individuals from thirty countries, was a joint venture of the
International History, Philosophy and Science Teaching Group (its
fifth conference) and the History of Physics and Physics Teaching
Division of the European Physical Society (its eighth conference).
The magnificient Villa Olmo, on the lakeshore, provided a memorable
location for the presentors of the 160 papers and the audience that
discussed them. The conference was part of local celebrations of
the bicentenary of Alessandro Volta's creation of the battery in
1799. Volta was born in Como in 1745, and for forty years from 1778
he was professor of experimental physics at Pavia University. The
conference was fortunate to have had the generous financial support
of the Italian government's Volta Bicentenary Fund, Lombardy
region, Pavia University, Italian Research Council, and Kluwer
Academic Publishers. The papers included here, have or will be,
published in the journal Science & Education, the inaugural
volume (1992) of which was a landmark in the history of science
education publication, because it was the first journal in the
field devoted to contributions from historical, philosophical and
sociological scholarship. Clearly these 'foundational' disciplines
inform numerous theoretical, curricular and pedagogical debates in
science education. Contemporary Concerns The reseach promoted by
the International and European Groups, and by the journal, is
central to science education programmes in most areas of the world.
