In Accord With Nature: Helping Students Form an Environmental Ethic Using Outdoor Experience and Reflection

by Clifford E. Knapp

The book demonstrates how educators and youth leaders can help middle-school-age and higher level students understand and define their relationship to nature and learn the importance of protecting the environment. Knapp maps out an educational journey that begins the moment you step outdoors. Alternative teaching strategies and structured activities will connect students with both the natural and built worlds. An examination of the history of environmental ethics and the diversity of worldviews held by people in our society underscores the complexity of reaching agreements about how to live more gently on the Earth.
