Synopsis
This seminal book describes the nature and extent of science learning in America with particular attention to the innumerable sources of science education existing outside the formal education system.

- Highlights research studies that reveal the nature and function of the infrastructure.
- Proposes studies, policies, and approaches that will enable educators and policy makers to better understand its nature, function, and effectiveness.
- Encourages coalition building and collaborations across the infrastructure leading to better practice, greater resources, realistic assessments, and greater application of free-choice science learning.
