I ordered this new biography of Frank Oppenheimer as soon as I heard about
it: http://bit.ly/VO1K3

The book will not disappoint. Everyone here should read it, especially
anyone who thinks that the purpose of science centers is to inform the
public.

Promoting public engagement with science
through a contagious delight in phenomena

 From her new book, an excerpt of in the Amazon review (Publishers Weekly):

Many visitors to the world-famous Exploratorium in San Francisco probably
know little about its founder, Frank Oppenheimer (1912-1985).
... but the book's true subject is his work at the Exploratorium and his
philosophy, not just of science education but of life.
