As a teacher of science, my desire for understanding includes the researched explanations of learning theories. I am not satisfied by anecdotal reference nor convinced without testing a hypothesis.\u0000\u0000In the field of physics, Einstein searched for a Grand Unified Theory. In biology, cell theory unites the entire field. I sensed similarities trying to be reached with this model. It is not a theory, but a model based on the research in the field. The writers of The Unified Learning Model (ULM) intend their book to satisfy classroom teachers as well as teaching …","PeriodicalId":50960,"journal":{"name":"American Biology Teacher","volume":"72 1","pages":"249-250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2011-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83621434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Michael Behe, William Demski, Duane Gish –– biology teachers often know these names (notorious creationists). But what about Fred Seitz, Fred Singer, Robert Jastrow, Bill Nierenberg, or Steve Milloy? These less widely known individuals posed equal threats to good science. In their eye-opening book, historians Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway detail how these individuals (and others) deliberately orchestrated public skepticism about scientific consensus on tobacco, nuclear winter, acid rain, the ozone hole, second-hand smoke, global warming, and DDT. Time and time again, the same cast of characters effectively stalled timely political action.
