Citizen Science
Citizen science, the active participation of the public in scientific research projects, is a rapidly expanding field in open science and open innovation. It provides an integrated model of public knowledge production and engagement with science. As a growing worldwide phenomenon, it is invigorated by evolving new technologies that connect people easily and effectively with the scientific community. Catalysed by citizens’ wishes to be actively involved in scientific processes, as a result of recent societal trends, it also offers contributions to the rise in tertiary education. In addition, citizen science provides a valuable tool for citizens to play a more active role in sustainable deve...
Advances in Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Remote sensing is the acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by the use of either recording or real-time sensing device(s), that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object (such as by way of aircraft, spacecraft, satellite, buoy, or ship). In practice, remote sensing is the stand-off collection through the use of a variety of devices for gathering information on a given object or area. Human existence is dependent on our ability to understand, utilize, manage and maintain the environment we live in - Geoscience is the science that seeks to achieve these goals. This book is a collection of contributions from world-class scientists, engineers and educators engaged in the fields of geoscience and remote sensing.
The Science of Citizen Science
This open access book discusses how the involvement of citizens into scientific endeavors is expected to contribute to solve the big challenges of our time, such as climate change and the loss of biodiversity, growing inequalities within and between societies, and the sustainability turn. The field of citizen science has been growing in recent decades. Many different stakeholders from scientists to citizens and from policy makers to environmental organisations have been involved in its practice. In addition, many scientists also study citizen science as a research approach and as a way for science and society to interact and collaborate. This book provides a representation of the practices as well as scientific and societal outcomes in different disciplines. It reflects the contribution of citizen science to societal development, education, or innovation and provides and overview of the field of actors as well as on tools and guidelines. It serves as an introduction for anyone who wants to get involved in and learn more about the science of citizen science. [Resumen de editor]

Pelegrí Casades
El present volum és una edició anotada de les memòries inèdites de l’arqueòleg i jurista català Pelegrí Casades i Gramatxes (Barcelona, 1855-1947). Al llarg del text, Casades reviu la seva trajectòria com a excursionista científic i divulgador arqueològic, alhora que reconstrueix els moments més significatius de la seva vida tot relacionant-los amb el convuls context històric que li va tocar de viure. Nombroses anècdotes, estirabots, tafaneries, reflexions i insults salpebren un text imprescindible per conèixer la vida i l’obra d’aquest barceloní il·lustre i heterodox, que Josep Pla va definir com a «terrible i menut rondinaire, biliós, malcarat, sàtrapa i llengua viperina desenfrenada».
