[SR: 8457052], Hardcover, [EAN: 9781847185884], Unabridged, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Book, [PU: Cambridge Scholars Publishing], Cambridge Scholars Publishing, The relationship between science and its publics has concerned commentators since science itself began. Yet in recent years, questions of howand how shouldscience and society interact have come to particular prominence. A field of practice, initially dubbed public understanding of science and later rebranded as public engagement with science and technology, has blossomed. But although academic studies have informed the development of this practical field, to date there has been little opportunity to take stock of the full breadth and variety of academic analyses of science communication. In an attempt to reveal the richness of the nascent field of science communication studies, this volume presents critical interdisciplinary analyses of some of the many ways in which science intersects with its publics. From childrens science books to computer advertising, news media to lab talk, public engagement to science fictionthe sites, modes and meanings of public science are explored. Contributions draw on historical, cultural, science and media studies. All, however, follow science through popular culture, taking critical science studies out of the lab and into society., 13469, Biological Sciences, 720874, Anatomy, 13474, Animals, 226684, Bacteriology, 13511, Biochemistry, 194827011, Bioelectricity, 760204, Bioinformatics, 226688, Biology, 13514, Biophysics, 13518, Biotechnology, 13521, Botany, 13529, Ecology, 13535, Genetics, 13542, Paleontology, 13547, Plants, 16310981, Taxonomic Classification, 13563, Zoology, 75, Science & Math, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 14545, Physics, 14547, Acoustics & Sound, 16052391, Applied, 13445, Astrophysics, 13514, Biophysics, 13567, Chaos Theory, 16052341, Chemical Physics, 13449, Cosmology, 14554, Dynamics, 226697, Electromagnetism, 13839, Electron Microscopy, 52215011, Energy, 52164011, Engineering, 16052121, Entropy, 226502, Gas Mechanics, 13605, Geophysics, 14561, Gravity, 14563, Light, 14567, Mathematical Physics, 14569, Mechanics, 13850, Microscopy, 14570, Molecular Physics, 14573, Nanostructures, 14576, Nuclear Physics, 14589, Optics, 16052671, Quantum Chemistry, 14581, Quantum Theory, 14592, Relativity, 14585, Solid-State Physics, 14596, System Theory, 14598, Time, 14601, Waves & Wave Mechanics, 75, Science & Math, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 491702, Biology & Life Sciences, 491704, Anatomy & Physiology, 684289011, Biology, 491716, Botany, 491708, Ecology, 491714, Zoology, 468216, Science & Mathematics, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books, 491732, Physics, 468216, Science & Mathematics, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<
