Surrounded By Science: Learning Science in Informal Environments is a handy guide for anyone who works in informal science settings (museums, after-school programs, science and technology centers, media enterprises, libraries, aquariums, zoos, botanical gardens, and more) and wants to find more ways to spread and enrich learning among visitors of all ages and backgrounds. Chapters include case studies, useful examples, thoughtful discussions, and a wealth of invaluable research. The result is a blend of scholarly insight and hands-on practical ideas, with the goal of ultimately engaging and challenging visitors, encouraging them to develop their sense of inquiry, their confidence, and their willingness to learn. An excellent resource and reference, especially recommended for consultation before adding or changing an exhibit in one's museum, zoo, planetarium, or other informal science setting.
