Abstract
The Nature of Transformation: Environmental Adult Education
Highlights
The Nature of Transformation: Environmental Adult Education, a slim volume in the International Issues in Adult Education series published by Sense Publishers, focuses on “weaving environmental issues in to . . . adult education practice in community, workplace or institutional settings” (p. 2)
As the authors believe themselves to be pioneers in both the theory and the practice of environmental adult education, which emerged after the 1990s, this book is a chronicle of their journey in creating this theory and practice and reflects their experiences with creating and refining the activities presented in this book
This discussion ends with a section summarizing environmental adult education and explains how traditional environmental and outdoor education aimed at elementary and secondary school students has been adapted for educating adults by the addition of the “concept of ecological knowledge” (p. 27), “environmental citizenship” (p. 27), and to some extent, political activism
