The combined expertise of the McBeaths and their two associates is
truly impressive: academic careers in science and politics and
substantial work concerning the environment in China. This
expertise is well integrated in this excellent analysis of
environmental education in China. The depth of detail in the book
is extraordinary for a discussion of Chinese public policy; the
interpretations and conclusion are sophisticated and convincing;
and there are several thoughtful policy recommendations as well.' -
Cal Clark, Auburn University, US'Facing severe environmental
deterioration for several decades, it is no surprise that China
pays attention to environmental education as part of its mitigation
strategies. This volume provides a useful overview of the
development, state of the art and diversity of China's system of
environmental education. Most interestingly, it details the
similarities and differences with Western environmental education
developments, both within and outside formal schools and
universities.' - Arthur Mol, Wageningen University, the Netherlands
China's environmental issues have been the subject of global
criticism long before authors Gerald McBeath and Jenifer Huang
McBeath began their study, yet often overlooked are the sizable
efforts of the Chinese people and government to change attitudes
and behavior in order to improve environmental outcomes. This
much-needed book offers a comprehensive introduction to
environmental education in China, from consideration of the
environment in Confucian philosophy and provision of environmental
education in schools and colleges, to the role of non-state actors
and the media. The authors' examination of conditioning factors and
educational variation within China - particularly their focus on
the application of directives, new guidelines and analysis of
teacher training in compulsory, secondary and college education -
offers an insightful measure of the efficacy of environmental
education over time. This unique book will appeal to researchers,
scholars and educators interested in the areas of comparative
education and environmental studies, both in China and
internationally.
