Sustainability and Environmental Education
Remaking Education for the Future
Edited by
Bob Jickling and Stephen Sterling ISBN 978-3-319-51322-5
This book provides a critique of over two decades of sustained effort to infuse educa- tional systems with education for sustainable development. Taking to heart the idea that deconstruction is a prelude to reconstruc- tion, this critique leads to discussions about how education can be remade, and respond to the educational imperatives of our time, particularly as they relate to ecological crises and human-nature relationships. It will be of great interest to students and research- ers of sociology, education, philosophy and environmental issues.

Renewable Energy: Discover the Fuel of the Future
In Renewable
Energy: Discover the Fuel of the Future, readers ages 9 to 12 learn about
renewable energy sources and discover how sunshine can be used to power light bulbs and how the earth’s natural heat can be used to warm our houses. Young readers weigh the pros and cons of different energy sources and make their own informed opinions about which resources are the best choices for different uses. Renewable energy industries provide a booming field for future scientists and en- gineers. This book shows kids these future jobs and gets them excited about contribut- ing to a world run on clean energy. Hands- on projects, essential questions, links to online primary sources, and science-mind- ed prompts to think more about energy, the environment, and the repercussions of our choices make this book a key addition to classrooms and libraries.

Honoring Tribal Legacies The National Park Service and Univer-
sity of Oregon funded a diverse team of educators to design Honoring Tribal Lega- cies, seven model curricula available to edu- cators so they can integrate Native Ameri- can Tribal perspectives into curricula at all grade levels and in multiple subject areas..
