Opis

This study examines the difficult and wide-ranging issues relating to how we understand our environment, our place in it, and how we choose to act. The comprehensive text provides an overview of these developing key issues, illustrating how - through schooling, higher education, professional training and development and awareness-raising - people can bring about change, as well as engaging in debate and critique of issues.

Recenzje

'It is also full of academic rigour and extensive references making it suitable for Masters students, and others who want to work through the book and gain a detailed understanding of the issues in a well-ordered and logical structure ... Specifically it should be read by those with an interest in the environment, sustainable development or values in education.' - Cathy Growney, University of Surrey Roehampton (escalate website)

'Scott and Gough have produced a very fine work that introduces new and more meaningful notions and practices of sustainable development; it should ... be widely read and its recommendations should be incorporated across the disciplines.' - Ali A. Abdi, University of Alberta, Canada
