Reviews

This book is Uhl's lifetime perspective on education... Uhl's ultimate question, 'What really matters?,' stalks all of us, but his final insights about 'coming alive' in teaching and in life are his true ethos. Choice This is the first book I have reviewed that directly impacted my behavior during the process of reading. -- Janet Rice McCoy Teacher-Scholar


A thought-provoking book that often caused me to stop and reflect about the meaning of my work as a teacher and mentor. (David E. Drew, Claremont Graduate University)


Author Information

Christopher Uhl is a professor of biology at Pennsylvania State University. His 30-year teaching career has been marked by experimentation and innovation. It is in this vein, and because of the unfolding environmental crisis, that he wrote the book Developing Ecological Consciousness: Path to a Sustainable World. Dana L. Stuchul taught high school chemistry and environmental science before her strong interest in interdisciplinary teaching sent her to graduate school. Today she teaches in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Penn State. Inspired by Ivan Illich, her scholarship focuses on the arts of living, suffering, and dying.
