Reviews

From the reviews:

“This volume represents the result of several years’ research collaboration in the field of public communication of science and technology, presented and discussed from a global viewpoint. … this book an interesting and inspired read which changed my understanding and perception of the field of scientific communication. An informative and thought-provoking volume, Science Communication in the World should be of interest to a wide audience, including researchers, teachers, students, journalists and those involved in the history of science.” (Kevin Coward, The Biologist, Vol. 59 (5), December, 2012)
