A review of two recent books on science communication has been published in Journal of Science Communication. Handbook of Public Communication of Science and Technology and Communicating Science in Social Contexts: New models, new practices were published by Routledge and Springer respectively. 'The books share several characteristics, such as the willingness to take both a theoretical analysis on science communication’s models and a broad view on communicative practices and practitioners. We could see this multiple focus also from the point of view of the three categories Massimiano Bucchi and Brian Trench propose in the introductive chapter of the Handbook of Public Communication of Science and Technology: actors, arenas and issues. Who is involved in science communication, in what spaces does the communication flow and what challenges and controversies are at stake in those processes? Finally, both books try to demonstrate that several science communication models coexist in contemporary societies, call them as you prefer: linear, dialogical, top-down, participatory, deficit model.'
