Education in, about, and through, the sciences - physics,
chemistry, biology, earth science - has grown rapidly in the last
150 years. Starting from the twin bases of an elective provision
for those likely to become scientists and engineers and of informal
provision for the general populace, it has evolved into a core
component of compulsory education across the globe. Above this
rises an edifice of provision at university level and beyond, both
formal and informal. This expansion has been justified by the
perceptions that science is one of the major roots for economic
prosperity, that it must inform an increasing number of decisions
in democratic societies, and that it increasingly impinges on the
personal lives of individuals. This collection of papers, drawn
from worldwide literature and reflecting diverse cultural
traditions, provides a fascinating resource for scholars seeking to
unravel the historical trajectories of these complexities, to
understand the nature of current provision, and to identify likely
future directions of development.
