To really confront the climate crisis, we need to think differently, build differently, and teach differently. A People's Curriculum for the Earth is an educator's toolkit for our times. -- Naomi Klein "author of The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate"
This volume is a marvelous example of justice in ALL facets of our lives civil, social, educational, economic, and yes, environmental. Bravo to the Rethinking Schools team for pulling this collection together and making us think more holistically about what we mean when we talk about justice. -- Gloria Ladson-Billings "Kellner Family Chair in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison"
Bigelow and Swinehart have created a critical resource for today's young people about humanity's responsibility for the Earth. This book can engender the shift in perspective so needed at this point on the clock of the universe. -- Gregory Smith "Professor of Education, Lewis & Clark College, co-author with David Sobel of Place- and Community-based Education in Schools"
