Today we're launching two major new publications which examine how best to disseminate science to the public through a variety of new and traditional media. Together, the 40-plus essays they contain provide a stimulating overview of new, innovative and successful initiatives in this field, written by many of the museum community’s most experienced and thoughtful practitioners. The essays draw on cutting-edge experience throughout the world, with contributions from Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Japan, Mexico, Portugal Singapore and New Zealand - as well as the UK and USA. The two publications - Science Exhibitions: Curation & Design and Science Exhibitions: Communication & Evaluation - are available either separately or together. For full details and to order copies please visit: www.museumsetc.com/?p=2175 Among the world-class organisations sharing their insights and experience in the books' 1000-plus pages are: * Canada Agriculture Museum * Centre de Sociologie de l’Innovation, Paris * Center for Nanotechnology in Society, Arizona State University * Columbia University, USA * English Heritage, UK * Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens, USA * Institute of Education, University of London, UK * Liberty Science Center, New Jersey * Miami Science Center, USA * MIDE (Museo Interactivo de Economía), Mexico * Museum Victoria, Australia * New York Hall of Science, USA * Science Museum, London * Wellcome Collection, London * Yale University, USA Because of the importance of the content, we’re releasing both books in our Preview Edition format, which provides early access to all the books’ essays - before they’re published. You can order either one or both volumes now and: * receive a complimentary copy of the final paperback edition(s) on publication; * read, download or print the essays immediately; * help shape the final content by interacting with the authors and editor; * save by buying at a reduced pre-publication rate.
