What is a popular image of science and where does it come from?
Little is known about the formation of science images and their
transformation into popular images of science. In this anthology,
contributions from two areas of expertise: image theory and history
and sociology of the sciences explore techniques of constructing
science images and transforming them into highly ambivalent images
that represent the sciences. The essays, most of them with
illustrations, present evidence that popular images of the sciences
are based upon abstract theories rather than facts, and, equally,
images of scientists are stimulated by imagination rather than
historical knowledge.
