Next fall I might be teaching the History of Science course for
non-science majors. Nobody wants to teach this course and
it may be my turn to take the burden. I know it can be great
course but not everybody is a good teacher for it. I am very
hesitant.
1) Can somebody suggest a good available textbook for not
very sophisticated students? Include the ISBN, if possible.
2) Also a textbook which can help me to develop the course.
The content of the course would be very much up to me.
3) I would like to sign for an Internet course on History of
Science, if it were available somewhere.
4) Advice from those who tried to teach a similar course
would also be appreciated. Please write to me about all
this in private <kowalskiL@mail.montclair.edu>, unless
you feel that what you have to say is worth sharing with
the entire list.
