The health of our global environment is increasingly affected by our technological advance - rain rivers lakes forests soil climate all suffer at human hands. Laura and Cotton suggest that the society committed to the technological transformation of the natural environment into an artificial one is also paradoxically a society committed to its own destruction. Currently one of the major concerns of environmental education is to address this problem more concertedly than hitherto. This book represents a radical departure from the traditional approach to environmental education. It argues that the knowledge base behind current teaching is flawed and the resulting mind-sets and attitudes are often counterproductive to the aims of environmental education. Language: English
