		Some writers also argued that the sciences were becoming a sufficiently important part of British culture that they were essential parts of children’s education, to fit them for their future role as responsible members of society.
		The number of children’s books on the sciences published in the first two decades of the nineteenth century indicates that the sciences (or at least some of them) were not only acceptable in the nursery, but had become a standard part of childhood.
		The absence of science teaching from most school curricula (and certainly most primary school curricula) meant that, until the last decades of the century, the majority of children gained their knowledge about nature from reading done in the home.

		The ocean’s long heave was a tsunami—a wave triggered by a seafloor earthquake—but it was modest compared with others in the Japanese records, and the quake itself wasn’t felt in Japan.
		This past year Kenji Satake of the Geological Survey of Japan reported that he’d figured out why: the Japanese tsunami of 1700, he said, was but a faint signal from a giant earthquake that occurred ten hours earlier and 5,000 miles away in the Pacific Northwest.
		The farflung wave implies that the quake was one of the largest ever—a magnitude 9 event that must have rocked the coast all the way from northern California to Vancouver Island.
