Although this book′s content is too specific, while at the same time too comprehensive for my course, I think it has volumes of great information. The chapter most applicable to the course I teach is chapter 5. In addition, my course is based to a large degree on "place-based" environmental education because it is an introductory course. This book would make a great text for course with global perspectives and those that are upper level courses."
