Summary of 'Growing Up Green':This comprehensive study explores the relationship of environmental advocacy to the philosophy of education and holistic theories of child development. The author begins by outlining the ecological, economic, and cultural dimensions of the environmental challenge and then applies this discussion to a critique of three philosophies of education: back-to-basic, progressive, and holistic. He then describes an ecologically sensitive approach to education in middle childhood, emphasizing the role that narrative inquiry, the study of place and form, and earth literacy can play in promoting an ecological awareness in children.
