#NNFN – Announcing the shortlist of brand new book award

Today the shortlist for the inaugural Association for Science Education (ASE) Book Award was announced. This award has been designed to celebrate science writing that educates and inspires science learners of all ages.

The three shortlisted books are:

The Abyss of Time by Paul Lyle, published by Dunedin Academic Press

Exploring Science with Young Children by Terry Russell and Linda McGuigan, published by Sage

Self-Destructing Science: Space by Isabel Thomas and Nikalas Catlow, published by Bloomsbury Children’s Books

With this award, the Association for Science Education said “We were seeking a book that goes that extra mile and supports our vision of ‘science for all’, a book that could supplement a teacher’s understanding, that innovative hook, or something that goes beyond the traditional science curriculum – something more than just ‘run of the mill’.”

The authors of all three titles have been invited to the ASE Annual Conference in January 2017 at the University of Reading, where the winner will be announced.
