Summary

STEM Push explores the multifaceted history of women's involvement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, moving beyond simple explanations to uncover the intricate factors influencing female participation. It challenges the notion of linear progress, highlighting how social attitudes, educational policies like Title IX, and economic conditions have created both advances and setbacks. One intriguing fact is the fluctuating nature of female representation in STEM, influenced by historical events such as the post-Sputnik era's emphasis on science education. The book adopts a data-driven approach, using census records, enrollment statistics, and biographical data to examine trends in STEM education and careers. It analyzes the impact of landmark legislation and cultural shifts while incorporating insights from sociology, economics, and education to offer a comprehensive perspective. By focusing on verifiable trends rather than anecdotes, STEM Push provides an evidence-based understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing women in STEM, making it valuable for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in promoting gender equity in these fields.

 
The book begins by establishing a historical foundation of early challenges women faced in STEM. It progresses through key periods, detailing the impact of legislation and cultural norms, and concludes with an economic impact analysis of gender disparities in STEM.

What Hath Darwin to Do with...

Dru Johnson

Believe it or not, the book of Genesis might have been the most Darwinian text in the ancient world. And throughout the opening books of Scripture, we find ideas that would also become prominent insights of the biologist Charles Darwin interlaced with the Bible's one-of-a-kind origin story. Key plot markers come to the surface again and again, driving the history of Israel and the Jesus movement forward to its cosmic completion.
Biblical scholar Dru Johnson calls us beyond typical creation-versus-evolution debates to explore the conceptual worlds underlying both Scripture and evolutionary science. He points toward remarkable continuities and discontinuities between the Bible's central concerns and those of Darwin and modern science—ideas so fundamental that they can easily escape our notice.
The Hebrew creation accounts, Johnson argues, weave together three key themes on the origins and development of humans and animals, themes that are also essentially Darwinian:

- the connection among scarcity, cooperation, and violence
- the fitness of creatures to their environments
- the genealogical aims of sexual reproduction
Can the ideas of Scripture and evolutionary science be mutually illuminating? When we enter deeply into the metaphysical imagination of the biblical authors, we discover surprising ways in which the two accounts converge—and conflict.
