    [synopsis] => Think you need a degree in science to contribute to important   scientific discoveries? Think again. All around the world, in fields   ranging from  astronomy to zoology, millions of everyday people are choosing to   participate  in the scientific process. Working in cooperation with scientists in   pursuit of  information, innovation, and discovery, these volunteers are following  protocols, collecting and reviewing data, and sharing their   observations. They are our neighbors, our in-laws, and people in the  office down the hall. Their story, along with the story of the social   good  that can result from citizen science, has largely been untold, until   now.                                  Citizen scientists are challenging old notions about who can  conduct research, where knowledge can be acquired, and even how   solutions to  some of our biggest societal problems might emerge. In telling their   story, Cooper will inspire readers to rethink their own  assumptions about the role that individuals can play in gaining   scientific  understanding and putting that understanding to use as stewards of our   world. Citizen Science will be a rallying call-to-arms, and will also   function as an authoritative resource for  those inspired by the featured stories and message.|Caren Cooper is an associate professor of Forestry and Environmental Resources at North Carolina State University, part of the Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program in Leadership in Public Science, and assistant head of the Biodiversity Research Lab at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. She studies bird ecology, conservation, and management through the use of citizen science. She served as an advisor to the public television documentary mini-series The Crowd & The Cloud. She is a blogger at the Public Library of Science (PLOS) and Discover and guest blogger at Scientific American, and she is director of partnerships at SciStarter.com.
