"There is a glaring absence of scholarship on the ethics of science communication, and an urgent need for resources such as this volume that offer a critical context on ethics that is both rigorous in its depth and scope, but also accessible and useful to a diversity of readers, including scientists and communication practitioners. This book will instantly and immediately be the leading source on the ethics of science communication."--Matthew Nisbet, Northeastern University and editor-in-chief of "Environmental Communication" "Ethical dimensions of science communication compose an arena vastly underserved by the extant literature. This book does a convincing job of demonstrating that ethical judgments--whether intentional or not--saturate the construction of science messages and then offers a thoughtful and readable portal into the topic. It's about time."--Sharon Dunwoody, University of Wisconsin-Madison "This book richly reminds us that every act of communication requires ethical consideration--and science communication is no exception. The authors draw out ethical principles addressing the obligations owed to readers, sources, and subjects of science communication. Detailed case studies show these principles at work in stories ranging from love drugs to genetic testing and biotechnology, to media coverage of the recovery of an Incan virgin sacrificed to the gods. The editors and authors are helping all science communicators become more reflexive about the complexities of their actions, which in turn increases the capacity for all of us to have deeper conversations about science, science communication, and society."--Bruce V. Lewenstein, Cornell University
