Description: "The essays collected in Science serialized examine the variety of ways in which the nineteenth-century periodical press represented science to general and specialised readerships ... Among the subjects discussed are the presentation of botany in women's magazines, the highly public dispute between Charles Darwin and Samuel Butler, the mind-body problem, and energy physics."--Dust-jacket.
