Addressing participatory, transdisciplinary approaches to local
stewardship of the environment, Grassroots to Global features
scholars and stewards exploring the broad impacts of civic
engagement with the environment. Chapters focus on questions that
include: How might faith-based institutions in Chicago expand the
work of church-community gardens? How do volunteer "nature
cleaners" in Tehran attempt to change Iranian social norms? How
does an international community in Baltimore engage local people in
nature restoration while fostering social equity? How does a child
in an impoverished coal mining region become a local and national
leader in abandoned mine restoration? And can a loose coalition
that transforms blighted areas in Indian cities into pocket parks
become a social movement? From the findings of the authors' diverse
case studies, editor Marianne Krasny provides a way to help readers
understand the greater implications of civic ecology practices
through the lens of multiple disciplines. Contributors: Aniruddha
