Review
'...Getting the Buggers into Science promises more than it delivers, leacing the reaer with a strong sense of "never judge a book by its cover" - however amusing. A more appropriate title would be "getting the young buggers into science", as much of its content is aimed at primary teachers. While it is a worthy summary of many sensible, ideas containing much appropriate advice, it is difficult to see how it will achieve its objective.' (Jonathan Osborne Times Educational Supplement)
