The book reflects on what has and has not changed since publication of \u003ci\u003eTalking about Leaving: Why Undergraduates Leave the Sciences\u003c\/i\u003e (Elaine Seymour \u0026amp; Nancy M. Hewitt, Westview Press, 1997).  With the editors’ guidance, the authors of each chapter collaborate to address key questions, drawing on findings from each related study source: national and institutional data, interviews with faculty and students, structured observations and student assessments of teaching methods in STEM gateway courses. Pitched to a wide audience, engaging in style, and richly illustrated in the interviewees’ own words, this book affords the most comprehensive explanatory account to date of persistence, relocation and loss in undergraduate sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensively addresses the causes of loss from undergraduate STEM majors—an issue of ongoing national concern.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents critical research relevant for nationwide STEM education reform efforts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the reasons why talented undergraduates abandon STEM majors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDispels popular causal myths about why students choose to leave STEM majors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is based upon work supported by the Alfred P.
