Abstract "The book explores and discusses the why's - as distinct from the how's - of science communication. Arguing that the dominant science communication paradigm is of a didactic vein, and tracing the origins of that paradigm, it makes the case for a political category of science communication, aimed at furthering discussions of science-related public affairs"-- Provided by publisher.
