Reviews
This book is a must-read. It is an inspiring and thoughtful piece of work that all outdoor environmental educators (both practitioners and researchers) should take notice of. It experiments with concepts and reflects upon Australian stories of natural and cultural history, providing an assemblage as unique as the Australian landscape itself. (Scott Jukes, Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education, Vol. 23, 2020)
“This book is therefore recommended for teachers of all kinds; not only those working in environmental education but anyone wanting to break free of disciplinary silos. It can be read, not just as an inspiring introduction to place-based teaching and learning, but as a route in to working with theories that are particularly valid for our contemporary predicament regardless of our teaching context.” (Kay Sidebottom, Australian Journal of Environmental Education, April 11, 2024) “I will be placing this book on the reading list of the Outdoor and Experimental Learning masters course … . This is a great tool for researchers, students and staff alike, to think landscape and waterscape with. I’ll be recommending they read it all the way through, in whichever order the chapters float to the surface. It will certainly challenge them, but I hope they will challenge the book in return, with the affirmative and empathetic critique it deserves.” (Jamie Mcphie, Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, October 9, 2020) “This book is a must-read.
