The Outward Bound Earthbook: Activities and Readings for Enviromental Education, Appreciation and Celebration, Third Edition [Paperback]

Larry Crenshaw (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1995

The Outward Bound EARTHBOOK is a field guide to environmental concerns compiled from activities created by Outward Bound staff. It is intended to assist any teacher or parent, and any student or friend of Nature, who wants to learn about, teach about, better understand, more fully appreciate, and participate in healing our environment.

Dozens of activities provide leaders and students an opportunity for experiential education about ecological issues. The EARTHBOOK's perspective is eco-centered rather than human-centered. Thus the EARTHBOOK challenges us to realize our connections with each other and with the planet which sustains us.

The EARTHBOOK is not just a book of activities. It can be used as a book of readings - it includes many quotations from great naturalists of the past and present as well as reflections from Outward Bound students. These readings can be shared around a campfire, contemplated in solitude, or discussed in a classroom. They serve as inspiration for each of us as we seek our own unique relationship with Nature.

This review is from: The Outward Bound Earthbook: Activities and Readings for Enviromental Education, Appreciation and Celebration, Third Edition (Paperback)

But I'm happy to have the 2nd edition. This book is a must-have for people who love the wilderness and desire to share their love with others. It's written so simply that even those who wouldn't consider themselves 'teachers' or 'educators' can use the lessons easily and effectively. What I love about the book is that these lessons can be used in true wilderness settings or in urban settings. My "Methods of Environmental Education" instructor had the 1st edition, which I borrowed for a few weeks...I really loved how that one was put together, but this one works too!
