""I read this book in a single sitting.The words and the tale that they framed pulled me along, promising to bring me to the center of some wisdom. I had to force myself to slow down so that I might appreciate the simplicity, the clarity, and the loveliness, the lovingness of the words themselves. This is a spectacular achievement. The book surprises. I was sorry to come to the end of it. I remember Holden Caulfield's saying sometimes you read a book and you wish the author lived next door to you, so you could just talk some more about it. I felt that way at the end of this one.""- Jo Anne Pagano, Colgate University ""Her voice is authentic from start to finish as she weaves the spiritual and intellectual together to develop an alternative curriculum for environmental education."" - Diane D. Brunner, Michigan State University ""In Ecotone, Florence Krall walks us through edges-both psychological as well as natural regions that inform the soul. She is engaged in pioneering work because she recognizes it is only through personal story that we can begin to reflect on change-the deep changes necessary in order for us to transform our world. Florence Krall is an ecological philosopher and visionary who writes with wisdom and courage, and knows the only education we can count on is that which is rooted in the earth. The margins she chooses to explore weave feminism, ecology, and pedagogy into a fabric of empathetic thought. This book invites us to see the world whole."" - Terry Tempest Williams, author of Refuge
