Reviews

This is a very timely book! The growing field of EcoJustice Education needs a book that helps teachers and teacher educators translate complex analytic material into classroom practices and lessons. We have been waiting for this book! Rebecca Martusewicz, Eastern Michigan University, USA This book translates academic and theoretical works on EcoJustice into accessible curricular materials designed to equip students to reflect critically on cultural roots of the environmental crisis unfolding on the planet. An important strength of the sample lesson plans is that they assume agency on the part of the teacher-reader to adjust these learning activities for student needs in specific contexts. Dr. Turner conveys a sense of respect for the teacher-reader's professional judgment. Teresa Shume, Minnesota State University Moorhead, USA This lively, relevant and timely text fills a need for practical work in EcoJustice Education. Audrey M. Dentith, Lesley University, USA
