Who were the pioneers in science education, and what motivated them
to do what they did?" This book is the second volume of an attempt
to capture and record some of the answers to these questions-either
from the pioneers themselves or from those persons who worked most
closely with them. As with the first volume, we have attempted to
include as many pioneers as possible, but we know that there are
still many that are not included in this or the previous volume. As
we have posed questions, rummaged through files and oft?neglected
books, and probed the memories of many individuals, we have come to
realize our list of true pioneers is ever growing. As we consider
our list of pioneers, we know that there are names on the list that
most of us readily recognize. We also fully realize that there are
names of whom few of us have heard-yet who were significant in
their roles as mentors or idea development and teaching. We
continue to be impressed with our science education "family tree"
ever branching out to more individuals and connections. The stories
in this volume continue to demonstrate how vital this network was
in supporting the individual pioneers during their journey in
difficult times and continues to be for those of us today in our
own enterprise.
This book is the first volume of an attempt to capture and record

We know there are many pioneers and early trailblazers who are not
included in this volume, but there are other volumes to follow. As
we have posed questions, rummaged through files and oft-neglected
books, and probed the memories of many individuals, we have come to
realize our list of true pioneers is ever growing. There are names
on the list that most of us readily recognize, and there are names
of whom few of us have heard-yet who were significant in their
roles as mentors or idea development and teaching. We quickly
discovered that the "family tree" showing connections between these
people is not a neat, clean simple branching tree, but is more like
spaghetti. The connections are many, are intertwined, and all have
their significance. The stories in this volume demonstrate how
vital this network was in supporting the individual pioneers during
their journey in difficult times and continues to be for those of
us today in our own enterprise.
