Citizen inquiry: Synthesizing science and inquiry learning has been recently published by Routledge. It is the first book of its kind to draw the emphasis on inquiry-based learningfrom participation in citizen science activities. This innovative edited volumeby Christothea Herodotou, Mike Sharples and Eileen Scanlon introduces theconcept of ‘citizen inquiry’ to emphasize the active engagement of the publicin citizen science activities, which refers to, not only participation in collectingor analysing data but also initiation, implementation, and completion ofpersonally meaningful scientific projects. The book presents empirical evidence about how learning canbe achieved or facilitated in a range of citizen science projects taking placein both formal and informal learning contexts.
