This series brings together international educators and researchers working from a variety of perspectives to explore and present best practice for research and teaching in environmental studies.
Given the urgency of environmental problems, our approach to the research and teaching of environmental studies is crucial. Reflecting on examples of success and failure within the field, this collection showcases authors from a diverse range of environmental disciplines including climate change, environmental communication and sustainable development. Lessons learned from interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research are presented, as well as teaching and classroom methodology for specific countries and disciplines.
Comprising edited collections, monographs and textbooks, this series will be a valuable resource for all those working in higher education for environment and sustainability.
