Environmental Awareness Bibliography.

Overview & Synopsis

Environmental Awareness is the theme of this bibliography compiled by the Friends Council on Education to assist in the task of implementing environmental awareness courses and experiences into the crowded curricula and extra-curricular life of schools and colleges. Part One, "Definition of the Problem," is a selected bibliography of printed material on the environmental crisis and what individuals, groups, or the academic community can do about it. Part Two, "Environmental Education," is an annotated bibliography with four sub-sections on (1) outdoor education, (2) conservation education, (3) nature education, and (4) environmental education--programs, courses of study, and lesson plans. Part Three, "Environmental Recreation," is an annotated bibliography of outdoor recreation literature including a number of references on canoeing, hiking, mountain climbing, cross-country skiing, backpacking, and other "outward bound" types of activities. This bibliography has been developed primarily to aid Friends schools and colleges in preparing for the Environmental Decade, one of renewed faith and practice based upon an ecological awareness of the total environment.
