Science & Education - Essays

Thomas Henry Huxley

Sinopse

In "Science & Education," Thomas Henry Huxley passionately advocates for the integration of scientific inquiry into educational practices, emphasizing the importance of a curriculum grounded in empirical evidence and critical thinking. Written with clarity and precision, Huxley navigates the dichotomy between scientific knowledge and traditional education, advocating for a model that embraces a progressive approach to learning. His work emerges from the context of the late 19th century—a time when the scientific method began to influence broader intellectual discourse, and Huxley's rhetoric eloquently reflects the tension between religious dogma and emerging empiricism. Huxley, often called "Darwin's Bulldog" for his vigorous defense of Darwinian evolution, was a prominent biologist and educator whose work shaped the foundations of modern science education. His own struggle with Victorian educational norms and his commitment to instilling scientific literacy in society, especially for the young, underscored his motivations for writing this seminal text. His broad understanding of biology, coupled with his belief in rational thought and skepticism, informs every page of this work. "Science & Education" is essential reading for educators, scientists, and anyone invested in the cultivation of a scientifically literate society. Huxley's insights remain strikingly relevant as they encourage readers to reconsider the role of education in fostering critical thinking and understanding of the natural world. This book not only reflects Huxley's vision but also challenges us to prioritize scientific education in an era where misinformation can proliferate.

Smart, funny, brave and deeply thoughtful, The Psychology of Secrets is an absolute must read" - Will Storr, bestselling author of The Status Game and The Science of Storytelling--Cult leaders, murderers, psychopaths – and you. Take a deep dive into the bizarre psychology of secrecy with Andrew Gold, award-winning investigative journalist and host of On the Edge With Andrew Gold. We all keep secrets. 97 per cent of us are hiding a secret right now, and on average we each hold thirteen at any one time. There’s a one-in-two chance that those secrets involve a breach of trust, a lie or a financial impropriety. They are the stuff of gossip, of novels and of classic dramas; secrets form a major part of our hidden inner lives.Andrew Gold knows this better than anyone. As a public figure, he has found himself the unwitting recipient of hundreds of strangers' most private revelations. This set him on a journey to understand this critical part of our societies and lives. Why do we keep secrets? Why are we fascinated by those of others? What happens to our mind when we confess?Drawing from psychology, history, social science, philosophy and personal interviews, The Psychology of Secrets is a rollicking journey through the history of secrecy.--"That Andrew Gold is a truly edgy journalist, broadcaster and now writer is - but should not be - one of our culture’s best kept secrets" - David Baddiel, bestselling author of The God Desire
