The book Why Science? is written for the millions of science teachers, students and the public who want evidence for their views. Society must make important choices in health and medicine, the environment, energy sources, the courts and in risk and safety. These issues and many other problems facing us require knowledge of science for their solution. Polls show that nearly half of the US population believes the myths, superstition and paranormal delivered by TV and the press. Despite the great advances of science in the 20th century, pseudoscience and antiscience are still around - even growing in some of the greatest universities and institutions in the land.
Why Science? contains resource material for science teachers at all levels. Students in advanced high school science courses and in community and four-year colleges and universities taking campus-wide enrichment science courses will find the book compelling.
