Abstract
Cultures are not stable. The way in which science is communicated, and science and society are expected to relate, is not static but continually developing. This book is about giving a snapshot of the richness of contemporary science communication, but, more than that, it is about equipping us, as scholars and students of science communication, to think about how we can study this richness and instability.
