This book provides a theoretical framework which allows us to understand why and how scientists address the general public. The author develops the argument that turning to the public is not simply a response to inaccurate reporting by journalists or to public curiosity, nor a wish to gain recognition and additional funding. Rather, it is a tactic to which the scientific community are pushed by certain \"internal\" crisis situations. Bucchi examines three cases of scientists turning to the public: the cold fusion case, the COBE\/Big Bang issue and Louis Pasteur's public demonstration of the anthrax vaccine, a historical case of \"public science.\" Finally, Bucchi presents his unique model of communications between science and the public, carried out through the media. This is a thoughtful and wide-ranging treatment of complex contemporary issues, touching upon the history and sociology of science, communication and media studies. Bucchi's theories on scientific communication in the media are a valuable contribution to the current debate on this subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51859966918944,"sku":"NEW0415189527","price":247.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61GtV0adQ9L.jpg?v=1781597002","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/science-and-the-media-alternative-routes-to-scientific-communications-routledge-studies-in-science-technology-and-society-0415189527","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
