Zoe Weil's book is a great introductory guide to Humane Education and how it can be implemented by teachers and educators in schools and at home. The book is clear, concise, interesting and I love that there is a whole section on Humane Education activities for students. This book is also very inspiring and invites you to be more humane in your daily life to preserve the Earth and all of its beings.
Humane education is the future, and not just for school teachers....if you are a parent, teacher, activist...member of society; you should read this book. It has lesson plans in it for actual "group" activities, but you don't need to be in a position to apply them to learn from this great book.
