Description: This well-constructed, and highly original, sourcebook inte-grates educational materials for teaching environmental eth-ics with theoretical reflections. The book is set to contribute immensely to its aim of taking ethics out of philosophy de-partments and putting it into the streets, into villages, and on the Earth—to make ethics an everyday activity, not some-thing left to experts and specialists. Context-based activities are presented in almost every chapter. While it acknowledg-es foundational theories in environmental ethics, and the work that they continue to do, it wholeheartedly embraces a growing body of literature that emphasises contextual, pro-cess-oriented, and place-based approaches to ethical reflec-tion, deliberation, and action. It walks on the ground and isn’t afraid to get a little dirty or to seek joy in earthly relationships. And it ultimately breaks with much Western academic tradi-tion by framing “ethics in a storied world”, thus making room to move beyond Euro-American perspectives in environmen-tal issues. This work will be of interest to school teachers and other non-formal and informal educators, teacher educators, college instructors, university professors, and other profes-sionals who wish to bring environmental ethics to the fore-front of their pedagogical practices.
