Sioux Falls Scientists endorse The Joy of Science for a complete The Joy of Science The Joy of Science (2001) - 60 lectures, 30 hours English novelist and scientist C. P. Snow classed certain scientific ideas with the works of Shakespeare as something every educated person should know. One such idea, according to Snow, was the second law of thermodynamics, which deals with the diffusion of heat and has many profound consequences. He might well have added Newton's laws, the periodic table of elements, the double-helix structure of DNA, and scores of other masterpieces of scientific discovery. Now, Professor Robert M. Hazen introduces these and other great ideas in 60 lectures that explore the fundamental discoveries and principles of all of the physical and biological sciences - physics, genetics, biology, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology, thermodynamics, and more. A Passion for Teaching and Science Professor Hazen is an apostle of science education for non-scientists, and he has few peers at rendering the most complex ideas simple, without being simplistic. "I have a passion as a teacher," he says, "and that passion is to share with you the joy of science, the astonishing discoveries, the mind-bending insights, and the transforming applications of science as well." A research scientist, professor, and advisor to public television's NOVA science series, Dr. Hazen helped draft the National Science Education Standards (National Academy of Sciences, 1997). These Standards represent a consensus among thousands of scientists and educators regarding the most effective approaches for teaching and learning about science. These lectures have been specifically designed to introduce and review all of the scientific principles that are included in the Content Standards portion of the National Science Education Standards. The result is a comprehensive and integrated introduction to all of science. By devoting just 30 minutes a day, you can complete this entire course in two months and discover an enhanced understanding of the physical world that will be a source of endless wonder and intellectual joy. Professor Robert M. Hazen is George Mason University's Clarence J. Robinson Professor of Earth Sciences and a research scientist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington's geophysical laboratory. His insightful works include the bestseller Science Matters: Achieving Scientific Literacy and articles for Newsweek and Scientific American. Professor Hazen also serves on the advisory board of the National Committee on Science Education. 60 Lectures - 30 minutes each
