By way of full disclosure, I am acquainted with the author, being a fellow citizen scientist involved with the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory. While the author and I do not work on the same Hawkwatch team, we have met on a few occasions.I worried through the first fifty or so pages that the book might be a touch too basic, but it turned out that the book got better and better the more deeply into it I read. I suspect that this may have been a strategy to make the book accessible to a general audience less familiar with conservation science. Regardless, Hannibal probes into conservation issues in increasing depth as the book develops, and I found myself more engaged the more I read.The strength of this book is the depth of Hannibal’s research. She has done a remarkable job connecting with leading theorists, and in the process of her investigations has highlighted a wide range of issues facing conservation biology. What results is a survey of state-of-the-art concerns mixed with a constructive, hopeful approach to how citizen science can have a pronounced impact on environmental issues.I find myself disagreeing with the author labelling the likes of Ed Ricketts and Rachael Carson as citizen scientists. While they certainly helped shape our sense of ecology while working outside the constraints of academia, I would argue that “by their fruits they shall be known.†Books such as The Sea Around Us, Between Pacific Tides and Silent Spring demonstrate that Ricketts and Carson were scientists in every sense of the definition. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed Hannibal’s treatment of Campbell, Steinbeck and Ricketts during their days together in Monterey, and have decided to read further about that in terms of a recent biography of Carol Steinbeck.Hannibal reserved her best writing, both in terms of lyricism and emotional depth, for the final chapter of the book. It was nice to see her transcend the more sparse journalistic style she employs in other chapters. The book left me with a palpable sense of wishing the book had been twice as long, or at least hoping that we don’t have to wait long before we get to read Hannibal’s next book.
Mary Ellen Hannibal’s book Citizen Scientist goes much further than its title would suggest, including an excellent history of the San Francisco-based Academy of Science, and a great deal of rumination on earlier projects that featured non-scientists doing science, notably the Ed Ricketts and John Steinbeck trip to the Sea of Cortez in the 1940s. Much of our contemporary view of nature and wild life is rooted in 19th century sensibilities, that are in turn heavily influenced by Charles Darwin and his contemporaries. Tracing the influences on Ricketts back to his time at the University of Chicago, she describes a relatively unheralded zoologist there Warder Clyde Allee and his “organismic-community concept†which emphasizes the group over the individual. Hannibal writes beautifully about her father’s slow passing during the preparation of the book, providing a very personal experience of death to frame the abstract discussion of extinction and preservation that her book is about. When he dies near the end of her narrative, it gives her a chance to ruminate on systemic death as opposed to individual death, which is finally what we’re up against now."What about the imminent loss of not only thousands of individual plants and animals but also their future kith and kin—the moment still teetered between past and possibility; was not just death at the door but with it the end of birth? In the hero’s journey, one life ends to nourish those that will follow. But if this story no longer applies, because we are consuming and not sustaining nature, what is the meaning of individual life?" (Hannibal, p. 390)
I've recently finished reading this most enjoyable book. Those who not only enjoy science, but also the history of science, will surely enjoy this book. You'll learn about the history of The California Academy Sciences, contributions from John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts, as well as contributions by volunteers counting raptors in northern California and the denizens of Pacific tidepools. In light of recent political changes, many may wish to simply throw up their hands and ask, "What can I do?" Well, in this book, Mary Ellen Hannibal, gives numerous websites, computer applications, and organizations where ordinary citizens may contribute to protect the environment and the species that live in them. In fact, it is only by the contributions of ordinary citizens that the huge number of observations required for certain studies can be obtained. I did not know that after the Valdez accident in Alaska, because there was no baseline for the number of individuals and species, the Exxon company was able to pay minimal damages. Now, the author gives us the names and websites of organizations with volunteer citizen scientists collecting information along the west coast that can be used in a court of law so that the next time there is an environmental disaster the lack of a baseline cannot be used as an excuse. Now is the time for all of us to help maintain and restore our environment. Now is the time for all of us to learn how we might become active to achieve this goal.
