The Cultural Authority of Science: Comparing Across Europe, Asia, Africa and The Americas

Abstract

The book titled The Cultural Authority of Science Comparing across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, edited by Martin Bauer, Petra Pansegrau and Rajesh Shukla is a collection of essays, and aims to map the cultural authority of science across the world in the light of the challenges posed by European, Asian, African and American developments and debates and to construct a system of indicators to observe this ‘science culture’ based on artefacts (science news analysis) and espoused beliefs and evaluations (public attitude data).
