"Conservation is not only for the environment alone. Teaching Sustainability, Teaching Sustainably is a college educators guide to encouraging sustainability in their lesson plans, as well as the importance of a practice that encourages good practices to help the teacher or professor keep their soul in their educational practices for years to come. An insightful discussion of these two vital yet related ideas that are needed for greater education in the long term, Teaching Sustainability, Teaching Sustainably is a strong pick for general education collections."Library Bookwatch"Teaching Sustainability / Teaching Sustainably is simply the type of book you sit down and read the whole book enjoying each chapter and then get up. What is especially nice about this book is that it balances the humdrum of academic discipline with practical experience describing how to teach sustainability in a realistic manner to individuals in diverse careers... In summary, adding sustainability to all facets of education is like adding computer technology to all facets of education–it is a core concept that is as fundamental to learning as reading, writing and arithmetic."Mongabay.com
