Book Reviews of Beyond Ecophobia: Reclaiming the Heart in Nature Education (Nature Literacy Series, Vol. 1) (Nature Literacy) (Nature Literacy)

Book Review: A CLASSIC FOR YOUR LIBRARY AND MINE
Summary: 5 Stars

I have worked with youth as an environmental educator, horticultural therapist, and counselor. I've done quite a bit of reading by authors from various disciplines, and I believe that this book is truly one-of-a-kind. Sobel's developmental theory is sound, and his writing is clear and concise. I have encouraged many of my colleagues to read it, and I feel that it is becoming well-known among environmental educators. This book has the potential to make an excellent contribution to educators and therapists, especially for those of us striving to connect children with the environment. Parents and families would also benefit from this book, as it explains which types of experiences with nature are most likely to have a positive influence on the child based on his or her developmental level. This book has been referenced by several other excellent authors, including Richard Louv (2006). Add this book to your library - you will not regret it!
