Handbook on environmental education in a totally urban setting

This Handbook concentrates on environmental education in a totally urban setting; The title is carefully chosen and its implications should be clearly understood. It does not mean only urban environmental education is detailed study of the city from all points of view. It is also concerned with the problems to be encountered in teaching on a broad environmental basis in schools within inner-city areas. Ideally it will lead children to understand that the city in which they live is not independent of the countryside surrounding it; that the web of interrelationships spreads outwards from their own home town throughout the world.
