Environmental Studies - Paperback / softback

First published in 1969, Environmental Studies aims to fill up a major gap by surveying the ground for a structural theory of environmental studies for schools and colleges of education. This is not a handbook or manual of environmental studies but an exercise in curriculum development. It begins by examining the terminology and concepts employed in discussing environmental studies. The historical development of the idea is then traced and the relationship between environment and learning analysed. The conclusions reached from these inquiries are then used as a basis for outlining the aims and organisations of environmental studies courses, and practical application of such programmes is considered. Topical and lucid, this book is a must read for anyone interested to know the basics of environmental studies and also relevant for teachers and educationists.
