Reseña del libro "Diary of a Citizen Scientist (en Inglés)"

A critically acclaimed nature writer explores the citizen scientist movement through the lens of entomological field research in the American Southwest.Award-winning nature writer Sharman Apt Russell felt pressed by the current environmental crisis to pick up her pen yet again. Encouraged by the phenomenon of citizen science, she decided to turn her attention to the Western red-bellied tiger beetle, an insect found widely around the world and near her home in the Gila River Valley of New Mexico.In a lyrical, often humorous voice, Russell shares her journey across a wild, rural landscape tracking this little-known species, an insect she calls "charismatic," "elegant," and "fierce." What she finds is renewed optimism in mysteries still left to be explored, that despite the challenges of climate change, there is a growing diversity of ways ordinary people can contribute to the research needs of scientists today in the name of environmental activism.Offering readers a glimpse into the pioneering field of citizen science, Diary of a Citizen Scientist documents one woman's transformation from a feeling of powerlessness to engaged hopefulness.Winner of the John Burroughs Medal and the WILLA Literary Award for Best Creative NonfictionNamed one of the top ten best nature books of 2014 by GrrlScientist in The Guardian
