Reviews
“Education for sustainable development has been gaining strength in institutional politics, but it has also been seen as a slogan due to its conceptual ambiguity. This book constitutes a proposal from biopolitical theory to seriously consider specific realities, mainly in countries that suffer from great social inequality."" Edgar Javier González Gaudiano, Universidad Veracruzana “This is an important, urgent and sophisticated book. Surely the best book yet written on Education for Sustainable Development. Using a subtle and impressive combination of carefully elicited research data from different socioeconomic settings and pertinent and effective theoretical resources, it argues for an affirmation of equality and life within a critical and situated ESD. Anyone with concerns about the extinction of our species and all practitioners of ESD must read this book now!” Stephen J Ball FBA, UCL Institute of Education
