In celebration of its anniversary, 125 Years: The Physical Society and The Institute of Physics charts the history of the Institute from its origins to the present day. It provides a fascinating account of the people and events that shaped the Institute's development and includes the emergence of physics as a separate scientific discipline, the formation of the Physical Society of London, the establishment of the Institute of Physics, the granting of a Royal Charter to the Institute of Physics, and the final decades of the millennium. Separate chapters are devoted to the educational, professional, and publishing activities of the Institute.

The 2006 Physics Education Research Conference brought together researchers studying a wide variety of topics in physics education. These included transfer of knowledge, learning in upper level physics courses, pre-service education, and cross-disciplinary learning. The theme of this conference was "Discipline-Based Education Research in Other STEM Disciplines." All papers were peer reviewed.
