Pesquisa em comunicação de ciência na Amazônia oriental brasileira: a experiência recente no Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi

Abstract

Although still considered a recent science, communication has been instrumental in the most diverse areas of public life, such as politics, economics and culture. Since research is proven to be the most efficient way to generate knowledge capable of informing socially just and lasting decisions, this is also true and essential for communication. Like all things in life, this book also has a story. In keeping with the context in which it was produced, this collection presents the results of research developed since 2002 from a project called “Science and Society: Communication and Education for Environmental and Cultural Preservation in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon”.
