SCIENCE COMMUNICATION IN THEORY AND PRACTICE

Edited by SUSAN M. STOCKLMAYER, MICHAEL M. GORE and CHRIS BRYANT

The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia

Published by Kluwer (2001) Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands in the Science & Technology Education Library

ISBN 1-4020-0130-4

This book provides an overview of the theory and practice of science communication. It covers the whole area and illustrates it by looking at the experience of research workers in science communication and those whose task is to put science communication into practice.

It deals with modes of informal communication such as science centres, television programs, and journalism and the research that informs practioners about the effectiveness of their programs.

It aims to meet the needs of those studying science communication as well as the increasing numbers of people who are employed in science centres and museums but have no formal training in this field. The book will form a readily accessible source of expertise for communicators.
