This guide provides an overview of the theory and practice of science communication. It covers the whole area and illustrates it by looking at the experience of research workers in science communication and those whose task is to put science communication into practice. It deals with modes of informal communication such as science centres, television programmes, and journalism and the research that informs practitioners about the effectiveness of their programmes.
