Summary Note
"A crucial component of the New Education reform movement, nature study was introduced to elementary schools throughout the English-speaking world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Despite the undoubted enthusiasm with which educators regarded nature study, and the ambitious aims envisioned for teaching it, little scholarly attention has been paid to the subject and the legacy that nature study bequeathed to later curricular developments. 'Educational reform and environmental concerns' explores the theories that supported nature study, as well as its definitions, aims, how it was introduced to curricula and its practice in the classroom, by focusing upon educational reform in the Australian state of New South Wales." - Back cover.
"Would a subject included in school curricula be able to influence the future of the natural environment? This is a question that remains strikingly important ... as climate change becomes a critical, yet contested concern. Enough space for meaningful environmental education at all levels of schooling in the twenty-first century would appear crucial." -- p. 2-3.
