This book by author Richard Paul is basically an introductory course in physical science. It is accurately self-described as a book "for talented beginners." The book describes how the universe operates--without a single mathematical formula. It is divided into sections on matter, energy, space, time, and reality.

A brilliantly written book, about what, at the very highest level, can be taught: not information, but investigative style. Apprentice to Genius carries the reader behind the scenes to watch the almost magical cascade of ideas and experiments that are laying the human mind bare - and which, when added together, probably sum up to the greatest discovery of our century.

American students' dwindling aptitude in math and science have become newsworthy lately, often culminating in debates about test scores. The author reiterates the concern that American youth is not being prepared for an emerging, competitive international market. But his review of studies, programs, and other data reveal a disturbing new correlation between educational access and power. He argues that the poor, minority students, and young women are not encouraged in math studies, thus widening the gap between the under and over classes. His re...

This book contains twenty-two chapters, which are based on talks given at a conference held at Magdalen College in April 1986. The participants in the conference came from a number of countries and represented several disciplines. They share a common interest in the structure of the cerebellum and its role in the control of movement and motor learning. The chapters in the book reflect that interest, and put forward in a succinct and clear way some of the major new ideas on the role of the cerebellum in movement and motor learning.

The Trebds in International Mathematics and Science Study was first developed to gauge how close the U.S. was to its goal of being first in the world of math and science achievement. It investigated the math and science progress of eighth grade students in 38 countries. Preliminary results suggest that although the U.S. is trailing many industrialized countries, the U.S. does have some of the best schools in the world. The study also points to a wide disparity in achievement between suburban and low income urban schools.
