Two books that I think need to be on the top 5 list are the result of the multi-year consensus study undertaken by the National Research Council to identify what the research tells us about how people learn science in informal environments:
Learning Science in Informal Environments: People Places and Pursuits, ED: Phil Bell, Bruce Lewenstein, Andrew W. Shouse, Michael A. Deder, (2009), National Academy Press
Surrounded by Science: Learning Science in Informal Environments, Marilyn Fenichel and Heidi A. Schweingruber, (2010), National Academy Press

Subject: Best museum education book of 2010?
ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Best museum education book of 2010?
A museum librarian has asked me to list the "Top Five" museum education
books published recently (2009-2010) so that he can purchase them for the
staff library.
Which book(s) would you recommend? Take a minute or two to visit the Museum
Education Monitor's Facebook Page to share your thoughts and experiences
http://www.facebook.com/Museum.Education.Monitor.
Please include title, author, and publisher and a sentence or two on why you
think this book is a good choice.
To help you get started - here's a list of the 40 books listed in MEM 2010
http://www.mccastle.com/UserData/MEM2010BookList.pdf. Other suggestions
welcomed!
"Top Five" list will be published in the upcoming December issue of Museum
Education Monitor (MEM).
Many thanks. Look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Chris
