What does all this have to do with physics education? H.G. Wells
(1920) wrote: "Human history becomes more and more a race between
education and catastrophe." Eighty-nine years later James J.
Duderstadt (2000), University of Michigan President Emeritus and
Professor of Science and Engineering in his book "A University for
the 21st Century" echoed Wells' emphasis on the importance of
education, writing: "Universities must take the lead in developing
knowledge and educating the world's citizens to allow us to live upon
our planet while protecting it."
