“Never has the practice of Ecopedagogy been more necessary than it is at this moment in human history. It is precisely this political commitment, as well as a deep respect for the ecology of the Earth, which is found at the heart of the beautiful passages, photographs, and short stories that unfold in the pages of this collection. More importantly, this invaluable resource invites educators and students everywhere to embrace the preciousness of life as a revolutionary imperative of our times.”
- Professor Antonia Darder, Distinguished Professor of Education, University of Illinois,Urbana Champaign; Leavey Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership, Loyola Maymount University, Los Angeles, and author of Reinventing Paulo Freire: A Pedagogy of Love
“It’s a book full of hope and opportunity. An essential read for anyone who cares about life. As you read, the book will transform you and in turn you will transform the world.”
- Talia Raphaely, Ph.D. Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute, Australia
