Green Schools Globally: Stories of Impact on Education for Sustainable Development (International Explorations in Outdoor and Environmental Education)
by John Chi-Kin Lee Annette Gough Eric Po Keung TsangThis book brings together stories of the green schools movement ((Eco Schools, Enviroschools, Green Schools, Sustainable Schools, ResourceSmart Schools etc) in several countries around the world, with a focus on the impact of the movement on the development and implementation of education for sustainable development in each of the countries. In particular, each story will explain the history of the movement per country, its current status, achievements, obstacles and broader impact.There have been a number of evaluations of these school movements at a national or more local level, and numerous articles and chapters have been published on aspects of these schools’ activities, but to date these have not been brought together in a single volume that focuses attention on the impact of the movement on education for sustainable development in each country. This is the purpose of this volume.The green schools movement focuses on a whole school approach which aims to include everyone (students, teachers and the local community), to improve school environments, including resource usage and the environmental footprint of the school, to motivate students to take on environmental problems and seek resolutions particularly at a local level but also thinking globally, and to improve students' attitudes and behaviours as part of developing a sustainable mind set.
Green Space as a Foundation for Student Wellbeing in Higher Education: A Comparative Analysis of Campus Design (Routledge Research in Higher Education)
by Vanita NaidooThis book presents a unique comparative case study that details the narrative around campus design at the first institutions of public higher education in the United States. With a focus on Southern design at the turn of the 18th century, it explores the use and perception of campus green space and its influence on student wellbeing and belonging, using both structural and lived perspectives.With attention to the post-COVID-19 context, the comparative analysis of two campuses, The University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill and the University of Georgia, offers insight into how historical context, location, and design all influence the use of space. The case studies and analysis also serve as examples of how institutions and university systems hoping to engage with design practices can promote positive learning environments that are both inclusive and supportive. Each chapter addresses an experiential aspect of space, linking back to the dialogue on diversity, inclusion, and identity. In addition to considerations around diversity, the book also offers a rich narrative that uncovers the links between American Education and the New Southern Republic, shining a light on the role of place, historical origin, and socio-political circumstances in shaping campus design.A superb resource for scholars and postgraduates studying higher education, environmental psychology, and urban planning, it chronicles the evolution of campus design at public institutions of higher education from a unique historical perspective.

Greenfield on Educational Administration: Towards a Humane Craft
by Peter Ribbins Thomas GreenfieldThis collection is a representative set of ten of the key papers which Thomas Greenfield, arguably the doyen of contemporary theories of educational administration, has published over the last twenty years. His writings as they appear are eagerly sought after and studied by scholars, students and practitioners in Britain and across the English-speaking world, but are not always readibly available individually. The collection charts the development of Greenfield's views of social reality as human invention, and explores strands of argument on the nature of knowledge, on admininstrative theory and research, on values, on the limits of science and the importance of human subjectivity, truth and reality. The volume is concluded by a discussion between Greenfield and Peter Ribbins, which reflects on Greenfield's career and elaborates on the range of his complex and often controversial ideas.
Greening Higher Education in Europe: Institutional Transitions to Sustainable Development (Routledge Studies in Sustainable Development)

This book goes on to examine the key pillars of sustainable development in HEIs, including education, research, and campus development, demonstrating best practices from a range of European universities including the University of Groningen (The Netherlands), Lund University (Sweden), Aalto University (Finland), and The University of Edinburgh (UK), among others. It also explores the role of HEIs in educating future leaders in sustainable development and presents a framework for understanding the values and decision-making processes of HEI leaders. It concludes by highlighting the need for a new paradigm in HEIs that promotes innovation, quality, equity, and respect for the environment.This book will be useful for scholars and academic professionals from a wide variety of disciplines, including sustainability, especially in its educational, research, and practical (applied) dimensions. It will also be a useful resource for postgraduate students in management and engineering.
Greening Social Work Education
by Susan HillockDespite urgent calls for global action, sustainable social work practice, and a solid “green” theoretical knowledge base, North American social work and helping professions have been slow to learn from community activists, acknowledge the international climate emergency, and act collectively to achieve climate justice. Greening Social Work Education examines how social work educators can best incorporate sustainability content into social work curricula, integrate green teaching methods, and mobilize students and colleagues towards climate action, justice, and leadership. Drawing on Canadian content, this collection highlights Indigenous, eco-feminist, collective-action, and multi-interdisciplinary approaches to social work. The book provides a rationale for why the topic of greening is important for social work and the helping professions; discussion of current debates, tensions, and issues; useful ideas related to innovative interdisciplinary theoretical approaches, analyses, and constructs; and practical recommendations for teaching green social work education. In doing so, Greening Social Work Education strives to help social workers and educators gain the confidence and tools they need to transform their teaching and curricula.

Greentopia: Utopian Thought in the Anthropocene (The International Library of Environmental, Agricultural and Food Ethics #36)
by Angela Kallhoff Eva LiedauerGreentopia: Utopian Thought in the Anthropocene provides new ways of imagining the future interface between society and non-human nature and brings into focus the possibility of a peaceful coexistence. “Greentopia” is a mode of thought that takes us beyond mourning environmental degradation and ecological catastrophe. The absence of already-paved paths in the area gives space for a variety of experiments in thinking. The book interprets its subject, “Greentopia”, as a method of re-imagination, yet also as a very concrete practice. It brings together researchers from different areas to investigate environmental utopia from their respective angles. The present volume is of highest interest for environmental ethicists, but also of interest for anyone involved in current discourses on utopianism, life in the Anthropocene, environmental crises, the future of agriculture and green cities.

Grenzwerte oder infinitesimale Zahlen?: Über Einstiege in die Analysis und ihren Hintergrund (essentials)
by Karl Kuhlemann Thomas BedürftigIn diesem Buch wird der Weg von den infinitesimalen Größen bei Leibniz über die Grenzwerte zu den infinitesimalen Zahlen der Nichtstandardanalysis skizziert. Die begrifflichen Probleme der Grenzwerte werden diskutiert und der Einstieg in die Analysis mit infinitesimalen und infiniten Zahlen vorgestellt. Ein Vergleich mit dem Grenzwerteinstieg zeigt die Möglichkeiten der infinitesimalen Zahlen. Der Grenzwertformalismus entfällt. Der Einstieg in die Analysis wird arithmetisch und zugleich anschaulich. Da die heutige Analysis in Grenzwerten geschrieben ist, geht es nicht um eine Entscheidung, sondern um Offenheit. Infinitesimale Zahlen erweitern das Repertoire, vertiefen und verändern das mathematische Denken und öffnen den Blick, nicht zuletzt auf die Grenzwerte.
