Citizen Science: Searching for Heroes and Hope in an Age of Extinction by Mary Ellen Hannibal
A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2016: “Intelligent and impassioned, Citizen Scientist is essential reading for anyone interested in the natural world.”
Award-winning writer Mary Ellen Hannibal has long reported on
scientists’ efforts to protect vanishing species, but it was only
through citizen science that she found she could take action herself. As
she wades into tide pools, spots hawks, and scours mountains, she
discovers the power of the heroic volunteers who are helping scientists
measure—and even slow—today’s unprecedented mass extinction. Citizen
science may be the future of large-scale field research—and our planet’s
last, best hope.
Citizen Science: How Anyone Can Contibute to Scientific Discovery by Kathryn Hulick
Citizen science has opened up the world of scientific research to
anybody and everybody. It is being done in all areas of scienceincluding
zoology, biology, astronomy, chemistry, and more. Some projects involve
going outside and observing nature while others revolve around data
obtained and shared over the internet. And whether one has scientific
training or not, the contributions being made by citizen scientists are
making a difference.
