520    The science taught in high schools--Newton's theory of 
       universal gravitation, basic structure of the atom, cell 
       division, DNA replication--is accepted as the way nature 
       works. What is puzzling is how this precisely specified 
       knowledge could come from an intellectual process--the 
       scientific method--that has been incredibly difficult to 
       describe or characterize with any precision. Philosophers,
       sociologists, and scientists have weighed in on how 
       science operates without arriving at any consensus. 
       Despite this confusion, the scientific method has been one
       of the highest priorities of science teaching in the 
       United States over the past 150 years. Everyone agrees 
       that high school students and the public more generally 
       should understand the process of science, if only we could
       determine exactly what it is. From the rise of the 
       laboratory method in the late nineteenth century, through 
       the "five step" method, to the present day, John Rudolph 
       tracks the changing attitudes, methods, and impacts of 
       science education. Of particular interest is the interplay
       between various stakeholders: students, school systems, 
       government bodies, the professional science community, and
       broader culture itself. Rudolph demonstrates specifically 
       how the changing depictions of the processes of science 
       have been bent to different social purposes in various 
       historical periods. In some eras, learning about the 
       process of science was thought to contribute to the 
       intellectual and moral improvement of the individual, 
       while in others it was seen as a way to minimize public 
       involvement (or interference) in institutional science. 
       Rudolph ultimately shows that how we teach the 
       methodologies of science matters a great deal, especially 
       in our current era, where the legitimacy of science is 
       increasingly under attack.--|cProvided by publisher.
