Explorations in Ecology (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Activities designed to help children and their adults develop a deeper relationship with the natural world, themselves and each other by learning essential ecological skills and understandings while playing in forests, fields, gardens and other ecosystems

Explorations in Ecology is based on the premise that—for those of us living within industrial civilization—the best response to current crisis is to transform our culture from isolation and competition to an ecophilic ecoculture that supports interdependence, regeneration, and cooperation.

Indigenous peoples have embodied this culture for tens of thousands of years, as did all of our ancestors. Explorations in Ecology is designed to equip adults (homeschoolers, eco-educators, and ecologically aware parents) to help children make this shift and prepare them for an uncertain future, emotionally and practically, while incorporating integrated traditional and modern perspectives. To these ends, the book will include:

• Activities that include permaculture gardening
• Gathering edible and medicinal plants
• Bushcraft skills like building fires and shelter
• And much more! 

• Systems theory
• The water and carbon cycles
• Photosynthesis
• The molecular kinetic theory of heat
• Soil composition
• Basic taxonomy
• Rocks and minerals
• Basics of ecological design and building.
