Earth in Mind: On Education, Environment, and the Human Prospect

Orr (environmental studies, Oberlin College) describes the problems of education from an ecological perspective, and presents principles for re-creating education. He argues that much of what is wrong with the world is the result of inadequate education that alienates us from life in the name of human domination. He discusses biophilia, the disciplinary structure of knowledge, and ecological intelligence. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
