Synopsis
Hart, speaking from a Canadian academic's viewpoint (he is professor of science and environmental education, U. of Regina) calls environmental education "a rapidly growing field of educational activity that advocates consideration of human- environment relationships in all aspects of education." Hart's use of teachers' narrative accounts contributes to the prescriptive camp of curriculum theory by exposing feelings and arguments about what should be taught, and to the descriptive camp by delving into classrooms and the professional lives of teachers to see how things are taught. David Orr, Oberlin's eco-pedagogical missionary, is frequently quoted. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
