'This book is essential reading for those who want to make the Decade for Education for Sustainable Development a turning point in the way we live and learn. Erudite and scholarly, its pages are deeply personal and practical, grounding sustainable learning in everyday experience in ways that are intended to promote deep reflection that translates into lifestyle change.' Professor David Selby, Director of Centre for Sustainable Futures, University of Plymouth'This book relates questions of sustainability to everyday life. It deals with important topics from examples of good practice to the media, in a thought-provoking and convincing manner. This is one of those rare books that make erudition clear and readable.'
