	Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning: Leon Lederman
		Leon Lederman, Nobel prize-winning high-energy physicist, director emeritus of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and founder and chairman of the Teachers Academy for Mathematics and Science, discussed the current state of science and math education in the United States in the Peter wallenberg learning Theater on Thursday April 17.
		Lederman also discussed the value of training students to think "scientifically" and to recognize that the "walls" between the disciplines of biology and chemistry and physics are more "permeable" than students might recognize because of the scope and sequence as it's currently taught.
		Lederman, who holds an appointment as Pritzker Professor of Science at Illinois Institute of Technology, suggested that the sequence of science classes in high school--biology, then chemistry, then physics--which was instituted at the end of the 19th Century, may not be the most effective way to develop in students an understanding of science.

		Nobel Laureate and physicist Lederman is funny, clever, entertaining, and highly accessible as he charts the course of experimental physics from 430 B.C. to the planned opening of the Superconducting Supercollider (SSC), of which he is one of the principal architects.
		The books are thus not interchangeable: Lederman will appeal to those interested in learning about science and the physical world, Goswami to those seeking a hip confirmation of their own sense of self-enlightenment.
		Lederman has a lot of fun here, writing a chronological account of particle physics in a narrative style yet the book contains enough non-physics humor to captivate someone totally disinterested in the world of physics.
