Abstract
The featured chapter of this volume makes the highly-tenable claim that a large number of new challenges and problems have arisen in the 21st century. The featured chapter immediately connects these new problems to new opportunities. It describes what is required to solve the problems and take advantage of the opportunities (i.e., knowledge, skills, and dispositions) and explores implications for education in the 21st century.
