Ecological Literacy: Education and the Transition to a Postmodern World Broché – 22 novembre 1991
Options d'achat et paniers Plus
The most important discoveries of the 20th century exist not in the realm of science, medicine, or technology, but rather in the dawning awareness of the earth's limits and how those limits will affect human evolution. Humanity has reached a crossroad where various ecological catastrophes meet what some call sustainable development. While a great deal of attention has been given to what governments, corporations, utilities, international agencies, and private citizens can do to help in the transition to sustainability, little thought has been given to what schools, colleges, and universities can do. Ecological Literacy asks how the discovery of finiteness affects the content and substance of education. Given the limits of the earth, what should people know and how should they learn it?

4,0 sur 5 étoiles Offers educators a new view on how to teach ecologically
Orr has plenty to say about how the educational system can play a key role in ensuring that future generations better understand how to live in harmony with the earth. For example, on pp. 85-86, he writes, "The failure to develop ecological literacy is a sin of omission and of commission. Not only are we failing to teach the basics about the earth and how it works, but we are in fact teaching a large amount of stuff that is simply wrong. By failing to include ecological perspectives in any number of subjects, students are taught that ecology is unimportant for history, politics, economics, society and so forth. And through television, they learn that the earth is theirs for the taking. The result is a generation of ecological yahoos without a clue why the color of the water in their rivers is related to their food supply, or why storms are becoming more severe as the planet warms. The same persons as adults will create businesses, vote, have families, and above all, consume. Orr's book is a wake-up call to educators worldwide. It is a lesson on the value of integrative teaching strategies. His underlying message: Don't be an ecological yahoo.

4,0 sur 5 étoiles Environmental Awareness..."Landscapes and Mindscapes."
David Orr has approached the subject of "Environmental Literacy" from a series of diverse perspectives. As a Professor of Environmental Studies at Oberlin College, and founder of the Non-Profit Meadowcreek Peoject, he has made a significant and thought-provoking contribution to the field of Contemporary Ecological LIterature. Orr sees "Sustainability," as being "about the terms and conditions of human survival," and that "this crisis can not be solved by the same kind of education that helped to create the problems."
The Author feels that the contemporary social problem of Alienation from the Natural world has reached a level which is unprecidented in Human History, and that our success in healing this "division" will be the difference between extinction or survival of the Human Race.
This book represents a an in-depth contribution to the growing field of Neo-Ecological Literature. Althought it is wtitten in an academic format, the concepts are clearly defincd, and written in an interesting readable style. This is a basic "Must Read" for anyone seriously interested in becoming "Ecologically Literate."

3,0 sur 5 étoiles Good But Naive
Let me state up front that this book presents some good ideas. But Orr doesn't have a good grasp on the reality of our social/political dynamics. Orr envisions a top-down reform process wherein colleges will supply students the necessary education to spark reform. Learning about sustainability in college is better than not learning it at all, but the college model has been tried for a few generations now with minimal effectiveness.
Also, Orr argues for "an uncompromising commitment to life and its preservation," but he doesn't clearly explain what that means. He also suggests integrating environmental education into a diverse number of courses. While he doesn't suggest mandating environmental courses, I suspect that this would be the end result, since students must still fulfill the requirements of their major. The end result would probably look like the consequences of mandating women's' studies classes that some colleges tried back in the 80's. In other words, you'd get a strong backlash. Also, Orr never addresses the fact that people who live "close to the soil" tend to vote against environmental causes. There's a lot of reason why that is, but for a book that advocates living "close to the soil," it's a huge omission.
