"This book demystifies concepts relating to Ecology and Sustainable Development at a time when these ideas are being introduced into the primary school curriculum. Written in non-academic language, it provides a wide range of illustrative examples which reflect the everyday experiences of teachers and children. The book is organised around the questions that teachers are likely to need answered." "By embracing important social, scientific, economic and political ideas from the rest of the curriculum, thebook shows how eco-literacy can be promoted through the existing curriculum structure, linking science, citizenship, geography, health education, literacy and ICT."--BOOK JACKET.
