 in association with the Luquillo LTER Program.  The book comprises three sections.  The first provides an overview of the LTER program from perspectives of (1) the editors, (2) previous LTER Program Directors at NSF, and (3) the past Director of the LTER Network
 Office (LUQ Scientist, Bob Waide).  The next section contains ~40 retrospective essays by LTER scholars from throughout the network (including articles by LUQ scientists, Jean Lodge, Ariel Lugo, and Whendee Silver) that assess the extent to which participation
 in the LTER Program has affected them as scientists, educators, or communicators with the public and stakeholders.  The final section comprises a number of synthetic reviews by a prominent ecologist, as well as by a sociologist, historian, and behavioral scientists,
 who use the content of the retrospective essays as “data” for evaluating the impact of the program on the nature of scientists.  In a sense, the book captures the essence of NSF’s “Broader Impacts” by chronicling how the LTER Program has affected the infrastructure
 of science while promoting long-term, collaborative, multidisciplinary, site-based ecological research.   For more information, see
