Peter Lynch investigates volunteer organizations and rates them
according to a range of verifiable criteria, including their scientific
usefulness. Their credibility is assessed in terms of: accolades and
endorsements, organization, financial records, evidence of environmental
benefit and scientific outcomes. This updated guide includes long- and
short-term opportunities from roughing it in tents, through simple
permanent accommodation to quasi-luxury. First-hand accounts by
volunteers provide insight into the day-to-day life of being a
volunteer.
