‘This is a timely and much-needed book in which Rushton helps us navigate and understand the complex historical and spatial contexts of Education for Environmental Sustainability (EfES), engaging with key concepts, such as sustainability, nature and justice, and considering how these can be embedded across practice in schools. This book is essential reading for teachers and teacher educators who wish to reflect on and develop their practice in relation to EfES for the benefit of children, young people and the planet.’
