A timely book by one of the country's best and most interesting thinkers about the history and current practice of science. * Ethan Hutt, University of North Carolina * There is a great deal to admire in this book and the desired audience is not restricted to academics or educators. There is potential for this work to stir conversation and perhaps shape policy. Rudolph gives voice to countless grumbling conversations science education professors have. * John Settlage, University of Connecticut * The topic is timely; the pandemic and climate change have increased attention to science education, and Rudolph writes thoughtfully. * Andy Zucker, Concord Consortium (retired) *
