The role of science in society, along with its nature and development, are commonly misunderstood by students in the social sciences and humanities, and even those studying in the field. Fernando Espinoza shines light on these misconceptions to give readers a deeper understanding of science and its effect and influence upon society, through historical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives. This book incorporates the mandates by national organizations such as the National Research Council and National Science Teachers Association and is a useful text for required courses of general education majors and science courses for preservice teachers.
Fernando Espinoza is associate professor of chemistry and physics and director of graduate education programs at the School of Education at SUNY College at Old Westbury. He is also on the faculty of physics and astronomy at Hofstra University. Currently, he is also a member of the editorial review board for Scientific Journals International, Science Education Review, and Research in Science Education.
