- Double-weighted statement
- The culmination of ten years of research, this 240-page monograph constituting seven chapters offers a comprehensive analysis of a range of scientific disciplines’ representation in television documentary over a 20 year period, in the context of the increased growth in “infotainment” and use of computer-generated imagery in factual television. The work builds a broad conceptual consideration containing analysis into under-researched areas of the mediation of scientific activity.

- Additional information
- An earlier version of chapter 4 of this sole-authored book was submitted to REF2014 as ‘The Extinct Animal Show: The Paleoimagery Tradition and Computer Generated Imagery in Factual Television Programs’ (2009) in the Public Understanding of Science . Chapter 4 of this new book submission for REF2021 is a full revision of ‘The Extinct Animal Show’ output, representing around 15% of the book overall. The book expands the scope and scale of the previously returned material, and with the other six sole-authored chapters, builds a broad conceptual consideration and analysis of under-researched areas of the mediation of scientific activity.
