The
Ig Nobel Prizes: The Annals of Improbable Research
by Marc Abrahams
Book Description: A side-splitting compendium that pays tribute
to those individuals whose achievements cannot or should not be reproduced.
Everyone knows about the Nobel Prizes, those prestigious awards that
recognize the world's most talented and innovative minds. Unfortunately,
not all of the hopeful thinkers and academics around the globe can become
Nobel Laureates, but some are lucky enough to win the esteemed Ig Nobel
Prize instead. Their unbelievable accomplishments are now documented in
glorious detail in The Ig Nobel Prizes: The Annals of Improbable Research.
Drawn from the world's wackiest actual achievements in science, economics,
and peace, The Ig Nobel Prizes demonstrates the extreme measures people
will take in the quest for knowledge. Read about the professor who proved
that toast falls buttered-side-down more often than not, and the Southern
Baptist Church of Alabama, which devised a formula to determine how many
Alabamans will go to Hell.
This hilarious book features these endeavors and many more, along with
photographs from the annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremonies at Harvard University.
An entertaining exhibition of brains and determination, The Ig Nobel Prizes
is ideal for anyone who first wants to laugh and then wants to think.

Science
Teaching: The Role of History and Philosophy of Science (Philosophy of
Education Research Library)
by Michael R. Matthews
Book Description:
Science Teaching argues that science teaching and science teacher education
can be improved if teachers know something of the history and philosophy
of science and if these topics are included in the science curriculum.
The history and philosophy of science have important roles in many of the
theoretical issues that science educators need to address: what constitutes
an appropriate science curriculum for all students; how science should
be taught in traditional cultures; how scientific literacy can be promoted;
and the conflict which can occur between science curriculum and deep-seated
religious or cultural values and knowledge. Outlining the history of liberal
approaches to the teaching of science, Michael Matthews elaborates contemporary
curriculum developments that explicitly address questions about the nature
and the history of science. He provides examples of classroom teaching
and develops useful arguments on constructivism, multicultural science
education and teacher education.
