Discusses the role of the history of science in science education, in particular the views of Kuhn, Brush, and the author on this issue. The Project Physics Course (PPC) as an example of an un-Kuhnian science source is also presented. (HM)

Examines two views about acceptance of Darwin's theory by scientists in Great Britain; that all scientists had accepted it within ten years after the publication of "Origin of Species," and that young scientists accepted the theory faster than old scientists. Concludes that both views are not accurate. (GA)

Describes the various attempts, efforts and experiments that were carried out by the leading investigators in the field in their search for electromagnetic induction phenomena. (GA)

Provides a chronicle of the use of luminescence spectrometry as an analytic device. Describes present-day applications of the technique. (CP)

Describes the role of chemists in the eradication of tuberculosis. (CP)

Traces the formation of the concepts of acids and bases by describing theories ascribed to various scientists. (CP)

Describes some of the discussion, correspondances and assumptions of Heisenberg. Includes clarifying and defending his explanation of the anomalous Zeeman Effect to the Quantum Physicists of his time. (GA)

Describes in detail the experimental procedures followed by Davison and Germer in 1927 in their discovery of electron diffraction. (SL)

Gives a brief history of chemistry in California during the last 100 years, including the foundation of chemical industries, the development of chemistry departments in universities and their respective specialities, and the role of California laboratories in World War II. (MLH)

Provides humorous definitions for various chemical terms and two amusing incidents relating to chemistry. (SL)

In this new theory the gravitational force arises from a symmetry relating particles with vastly different properties. The ultimate result may be a unified theory of all the basic forces in nature. (Author/BB)

Reviews the development of engineering education in the United States from 1747 to date. (SL)

Reviews Fermi's work in determining the minimum dipole moment for electron binding. (SL)

Argues in favor of including history in chemistry instruction. (SL)

Problems of "humanity in science" are discussed through the historical circumstances in which they arose and by examining the changing nature of the social contract between the scientific profession and society. (Author/SL)
