Martin W. Bauer - The Culture of Science: How the Public Relates to Science Across the Globe

An edited book like this one is always a collective effort of many hands and minds, the names of whom do not appear in the final product. Here we would like to thank those hidden then colleagues at the Royal Society, Darren Bhattachary, Chloe Sheppard, Matthew Harvey, and Nicola Hern, without whose engagement this project would never have got off the ground. We also acknowledge the contributors to our initial Royal Society Meeting, 56 November 2007, who did not in the end contribute to this volume, but whose discussions remain part of the project. Thanks to the anonymous and not so anonymous reviewers of the chapters whose helpful comments found their way into the final product. Further thanks go to Benjamin Holtzman and Max Novick who at Routledge in New York supported this project with their continued patience through all the unmet deadlines. The English editing and the shaping up of all the chapters and artwork is due to unbeatable Susan Howard, who has done a marvellous job of bringing this project to closure.
