Dialogue, Discussion, and Debate: Science
Help your students grow more confident in analyzing and talking about the issues

A new approach to controversial topics

It�s not that today�s students don�t have opinions. Rather, they�re often unsure of how to express themselves.

One answer is Dialogue, Discussion, and Debate: Science. This groundbreaking volume helps your students (and you) grow more confident in analyzing and talking about the issues at the forefront of contemporary science and culture. Climate change, alternative medicine, evolution vs. creationism are just a few of the concerns that students read about, hear about, and want to talk about.
