What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This is an important, urgent and sophisticated book. Surely the best book yet written on Education for Sustainable Development.

Anyone with concerns about the extinction of our species and all practitioners of ESD must read this book now!”
Stephen J Ball FBA, UCL Institute of Education
