'A compelling account of science as a socially situated, discursive and rhetorical practice in which language plays a crucial role. Gruber and Olman have skilfully blended the voices of authoritative scholars in the fields of rhetoric, linguistics, science communication, and science education to produce an engaging volume that provides a remarkable map of the terrain.'Christoph A. Hafner, City University of Hong Kong
