This book brings together a range of ideas, stories, and discussions about purposeful learning in communities aimed at creating a world that is more sustainable than the one currently in prospect....The book is designed to expand the network of conversations through which our society can confront various perspectives, discover emerging patterns, and apply learning to a variety of emotional and social contexts. From the Foreword by Fritjof Capra, co-founder of the Center of Ecoliteracy. Joining what is so clear and refreshing in this book with the larger movements toward a critically democratic and activist education that is worthy of its name, is but one step in the struggle for sustainability. But it is an essential step if we are to use the insights that are included in this book. From the Afterword by Michael Apple, author of 'Educating the Right Way: Markets, Standards, God, and Inequality'.
