Inhaltsangabe

In June 2006, 17 scientists and educators selected by the National Academies, the Academy of Sciences of Iran, and the Académie des Sciences of France held a workshop to discuss issues concerning the role of science in the development of modern societies. These proceedings summarize the presentations made at the workshop and the discussions that followed them. The participants represented an array of science and technology disciplines, including anthropology, engineering, education, chemistry, agriculture, psychology, and health sciences. They address topics including science-oriented themes in education, ethics, socioeconomic development, and policymaking. Papers are grouped in sections on science and society issues, the role of science and engineering in development, promoting scientific thinking among decision makers, and management and use of scientific knowledge. The book provides useful background for the further development of interactions of Western scientists and educators with Iranian specialists. Schweitzer is affiliated with the National Research Council, and the US-Iran Workshop on Science and Technology and the Future Development of Societies.
