| Publisher Description: The articles in this collection examine the issues arising from the use and abuse of the term ecology in environmental education to encourage ecologists to become more engaged with education at all levels. Although great efforts have been made to improve understanding of the environment via programs offered by educational establishments, government agencies and others, it is sometimes perceived that environmental education actually entails the advocacy of particular values and beliefs. |
