Produktbeschreibung

We are destroying our planet and in the process are holding onto a model of education that is contributing to unsustainability. Paul Clarke shows that we need to develop radical solutions to address our foolish addiction to progress through consumerism and growth and rethink our relationship with the environment and our concept of schools.
