Abstract
This book is a member of a series on Developing Science and Technology Education and is authored by Michael Poole, who for 20 years served as a lecturer in Science Education at King's College, London where he is currently Visiting Research Fellow. The series is designed to Aencourage teachers and curriculum developers to continue to rethink how science and technology should be taught in schools, what is the relationship between science and technology? The author's own purpose is summarized in the final words of the book: " I have argued in this book that science should be neither deified, denigrated, nor forced into demise. Rather it should be promoted as a fascinating and worthwhile human endeavor practiced by fallible people." It is his purpose to "help science teachers to show how spiritual, moral, social and cultural factors affect science." In the helpful way characteristic of his previous writings, he provides the reader with many examples of an attitude that understands the significance of genuine science and seeks to integrate insights gained from science and Christian theology.
