Given the urgency of environmental problems, how we communicate about our ecological relations is crucial. Environmental Communication Pedagogy and Practice is concerned with ways to help learners effectively navigate and consciously contribute to the communication shaping our environmental present and future.The book brings together international educators working from a variety of perspectives to engage both theory and application. Contributors address how pedagogy can stimulate ecological wakefulness, support diverse and praxis-based ways of learning, and nurture environmental change agents. Additionally, the volume responds to a practical need to increase teaching effectiveness of environmental communication across disciplines by offering a repertoire of useful learning activities and assignments. Altogether, it provides an impetus for reflection upon and enhancement of our own practice as environmental educators, practitioners, and students. Environmental Communication Pedagogy and Practice is an essential resource for those working in environmental communication, environmental and sustainability studies, environmental journalism, environmental planning and management, environmental sciences, media studies and cultural studies, as well as communication subfields such as rhetoric, conflict and mediation, and intercultural. The volume is also a valuable resource for environmental communication professionals working with communities and governmental and non-governmental environmental organisations.

In summary, Environmental Communication Pedagogy and Practice promises to be a welcome resource for both educators and researchers in making accessible first-hand accounts of transformational EC practices and in the heuristic value of these accounts in responding to what its authors rightly believe are exigencies that call for awareness and intervention in public arenas. As such, this volume warrants serious attention from those who are committed to the ideals of ‘transformative learning’ and the cultivation of ‘ecological citizenship’.James Robert Cox, University of North Carolina, Environmental Education Research Journaul
