Most environmental learning takes place outside of the formal
education system, but our understanding of how this learning
actually occurs is in its infancy. By surfing the internet,
watching nature documentaries, and visiting parks, forests, marine
sanctuaries, and zoos, people make active choices to learn about
various aspects of their environment every day. Free-Choice
Learning and the Environment explores the theoretical foundations
of free-choice environmental education, the practical implications
for applying theory to the education of learners of all ages, and
the policy implications for creating new and sustainable
environmental education opportunities.

The science museum field has made tremendous advances in
understanding museum learning, but little has been done to
consolidate and synethesize these findings to encourage widespread
improvements in practice. By clearly presenting the most current
knowledge of museum learning, In Principle, In Practice aims to
promote effective programs and exhibitions, identify promising
approaches for future research, and develop strategies for
implementing and sustaining connections between research and
practice in the museum community.

Work ethic has historically been linked to financial success of
individuals and is an multi-dimensional attribute desired by
employers. Employers often state the need for a high level of work
ethic, but have difficulty quantifing and defining work ethic. This
book explores the historical development of work ethic as an
acceptable and desired norm. Work ethic is often described as a
social expectation and ascribed to specific cultures. However, work
ethic is also used to describe specific attributes of individuals
regardless of cultural identity. This book discusses the theories
of the development. The book also reviews relevant literature to
define and quantify work ethic. Employers often make hiring
decisions based on perceptions of positive work ethic by
employement status, age and gender. This book explores the validity
of such decisions and offers methods for increasing work ethic of
employees.
