Sommario/riassunto

Taking what he calls "a nature-centered worldview," author Robert



Stebbins blends activities, examples, and stories with his perspectives on the importance of dealing objectively yet compassionately with social and environmental problems. Even a quick glance through Connecting With Nature will make you wish you could give your students the joy of a day in the hills with the author. Failing that, you can use his book to instill a love of nature in your students-and rekindle it in yourself.
