Whether it is pulling up water chestnuts in the Hudson River, measuring beds of submerged aquatic vegetation, or searching out vernal pools, all are efforts that illuminate the role of ordinary citizens as stewards of place. In this elegantly written book, Busch highlights factors that distinguish twenty-first-century citizen scientists from traditional amateur naturalists: a greater sense of urgency, helpful new technologies, and the expanded possibilities of crowdsourcing. The observations here look both to precisely recorded data sheets and to the impressionistic marginalia, scribbled asides, and side roads that often attend such unpredictable outings. While not a primer on the prescribed protocols of citizen science, the book combines vivid natural history, a deep sense of place, and reflection about our changing world. Musing on the expanding potential of citizen science, the author celebrates today's renewed volunteerism and the opportunities it offers for regaining a deep sense of connection to place. 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring$zHudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aWildlife conservation$zHudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring 615 0$aWildlife conservation 676 $a363.7/063097473 700 $aBusch$b Akiko$0903133 701 $aCotter Kaspari$b Debby$01040327 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452393903321 996 $aThe incidental steward$92463085 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01219nam a2200313 i 4500 001 991000988099707536 005 20020507104811.0 008 010221s1998 us ||| | eng 020 $a0849328764$c202100 035 $ab10157815-39ule_inst 035 $aLE00640245$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Fisica$beng 082 0 $a515.45 084 $a510.45 084 $aLC QA431.P65 100 1 $aPolyanin, Andrei D.$0352471 245 10$aHandbook of integral equations /$cAndrei D.
