How does understanding translate into attitudes towards science and trust in scientists? What is the role of the mass media? the essays in this book shed light on such questions bringing insights from several disciplines. They help to define a meaningful research agenda for the future. - Professor Dorothy Nelkin, New York UniversityDierkes, Meinolf is the author of 'Between Understanding and Trust The Public, Science and Technology' with ISBN 9789058230072 and ISBN 9058230074.
