520    "In Science, Bread, and Circuses, Gregory Schrempp brings 
       a folkloristic slant to the topic of popular science, 
       calling attention to the persistence of folkloric form, 
       idiom, and worldview within the increasingly important 
       dimension of popular consciousness defined by the impact 
       of science. Schrempp considers specific examples of texts 
       in which science writers employ folkloric tropes--myths, 
       legends, proverbs, or a variety of gestures from religious
       tradition--to lend authority or credibility to their 
       message. In each essay he explores an instance of science 
       popularization rooted in the quotidian round: variations 
       of folkloric formulae in monumental measurements, 
       invocations of science-heroes like saints or other 
       inspirational figures, the battle of mythos and logo in 
       parenting and academe; how the meme has become embroiled 
       in quasi-religious treatments of the problem of evil, and 
       a range of other tropes of folklore drafted into the 
       service of exposition of scientific topics. Science, Bread,
       and Circuses places the relationship of science and 
       folklore is at the very center of folkloristic inquiry in 
       an attempt to rephrase and thus domesticate scientific 
       findings and claims in folklorically-imbued popular forms"
