Beschreibung

This book presents a broad yet detailed picture of the history of science popularization from the Renaissance to the twenty-first century. Global in focus, it covers subjects such as the representations of science in print, the media, classrooms and museums, orthodox and heterodox practices, the intersection of the history of science with the history of technology, and the ways in which public opinion and scientific expertise have influenced and shaped one another across the centuries. Highly illustrated throughout and covering the recent historiographical scholarship on the subject, it is valuable reading for students of the history of science and its relationship with the public sphere.
