Does the general public need to understand science? And if so, is it scientists' responsibility to communicate? Critics have argued that, despite the huge strides made in technology, we live in a "scientifically illiterate" society--one that thinks about the world and makes important decisions without taking scientific... 作者简介 · · · · · ·Jane Gregory is Lecturer in Science and Technology Studies at Birkbeck College, London, and an Honorary Research Fellow at University College, London. Steve Miller has a Ph.D. in physical chemistry and is currently Reader in Science Communication and Planetary Science at University College, London. 目录 · · · · · ·* Preface * The Recent "Public Understanding of Science Movement" * Science in Public Culture * Popular Science: Friend or Foe? * Popularization, Public Understanding, and the Public Sphere * Media Issues in the Public Understanding of Science * Case Stud媒體評論：We leave our cars to mechanics--why shouldn't we leave science to scientists? Science critic Jane Gregory and chemist Steve Miller tear down our preconceptions about popular science education and erect a scaffolding on which to build new communication systems with Science in Public: Communication, Culture, and Credibility. This deeply thoughtful book explores the lengthy history of scientific mass communication and the various rationales for encouraging greater understanding of research processes and results in the general public. From Copernicus to Carl Sagan, great thinkers have tried to explain not just the facts and theories produced by science, but the very work itself. Their reasons are enlightening and more often than not surprisingly self-serving, but Gregory and Miller are careful to maintain a tone of fairness throughout. What can we learn about the various forces of academia, government, business, and the media that have profoundly different interests in scientific communication, and how can we use this awareness to best help all the people and systems involved? Science in Public seeks to calmly observe and judge these forces, occasionally using case studies such as the mad cow madness that struck Europe in the waning days of the 20th century to illustrate points. Any reader interested in science or education will find it a challenging and provocative work. --Rob Lightner * Preface * The Recent "Public Understanding of Science Movement" * Science in Public Culture * Popular Science: Friend or Foe? * Popularization, Public Understanding, and the Public Sphere * Media Issues in the Public Understanding of Science * Case Stud 媒體評論：We leave our cars to mechanics--why shouldn't we leave science to scientists?
