5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb addition to a library science reference collection.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Museums of Modern Science: Nobel Symposium 112 (Archives of the Nobel Museum 1) (Paperback)
Museums Of Modern Science is an impressive and unique history and survey of the role museums play in engendering public interest in the sciences, how exhibitions are affected by multi-media techniques, what role art plays in the process of a science exhibit, and how science museums impact on the relevant and related issues of the day. The contributors draw upon a wide diversity of experience and their essays are arranged and presented in four major sections: The Issues (how to explain modern science and how to reach the indifferent); The Level Of Complexity (the "middle way" between the superficial and the repellent); Virtual Museums (the challenges of new technology); and Controversial Science Issues (neither apologetic glorification nor the "science war". Museums Of Modern Science is a superb addition to any personal, public, academic, and museum library reference collection.
