university. Popular books and magazine articles about science can help to put across new developments. But<br />
even the most successful popular book is read by only a small proportion of the population. There are some<br />
very good science programs on TV, but others present scientific wonders simply as magic, without<br />
explaining them, or showing how they fit into the framework of scientific ideas. Producers of television<br />
