How can we respond to the current planetary ecological emergency? In To Know the World  Mitchell Thomashow proposes that we revitalize  revisit  and reinvigorate how we think about our residency on Earth. First  we must understand that the major challenges of our timemigration  race  inequity  climate justice  and democracyconnect to the biosphere. Traditional environmental education has accomplished much  but it has not been able to stem the inexorable decline of global ecosystems. Thomashow  the former president of a college dedicated to sustainability  describes instead environmental learning  a term signifying that our relationship to the biosphere must be front and center in all aspects of our daily lives. In this illuminating book  he provides rationales  narratives  and approaches for doing just that. Mixing memoir  theory  mindfulness  pedagogy  and compelling storytelling  Thomashow discusses how to navigate the Anthropocenes rapid pace of change without further separating psyche from biosphere; why we should understand migration both ecologically and culturally; how to achieve constructive connectivity in both social and ecological networks; and why we should take a cosmopolitan bioregionalism perspective that unites local and global. Throughout  Thomashow invites readers to participate as educational explorers  encouraging them to better understand how and why environmental learning is crucial to human flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986141966389,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262539829","price":26.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262539821.jpg?v=1770888911","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/to-know-the-world-a-new-vision-for-environmental-learning","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
