In this book, Paul Clarke argues that in order to live sustainably we need to learn how to live and flourish in our environment in a manner that uses finite resources with ecologically informed discretion. Education is perfectly placed to create the conditions for innovative and imaginative solutions and to provide the formulas that ensure that everyone becomes naturally smart; but to achieve this, we need to recognise that an education that is not grounded in a full understanding of our relationship with the natural world is no education at all. In other words, a total transformation of schools and schooling is needed.  While acknowledging that the ecological crisis is global in scale, Paul Clarke maintains that many of the solutions are already evident in our local communities. Drawing on innovative sustainable living programmes from around the world, including Sweden’s Forest Schools, China’s Green Schools programme, the US Green Ribbon Schools programme and his own school-of-sustainability project, Paul Clarke offers practical solutions about how schools and communities can make their contribution.  This book examines how we might proceed to empower and actively develop schools and communities to connect hand, heart and mind for an eco-literate future. It is thought provoking, timely and challenging, and should be read by school leaders, community and business leaders, as well as anyone grappling with the problems of transition from an industrial past to an ecologically sustainable future.

Education for Sustainability: Becoming Naturally Smart

<p>A celebration of how much fun a designer can have rising to the challenge of enlivening the familiar, in this case the watch. Shape, size, color, & materials can all be used to transform everyday items that capture the fleeting style of the fast-moving, machine-age 20th cent. Presents 36 such icons in chronological order to let you see how form follows fashion across the century. The text links each watch design, shown in specially commissioned color photos, to its Zeitgeist. Mechanical, electrical or digital, some are simple, classic watches while others are novelty designs. A witty look at how designers have transformed functional timepieces into objects of desire.</p>

For the last few years there has been wave after wave of reform aimed atimproving the lot of the schools struggling at the bottom of the ladder ofperformance, and despite what can be interpreted as best intentions, theproblem persists. As a social problem it draws down significant sums ofpublic money, it exercises many talented people, and yet, time after time wefind that three, four, maybe five years down the road after extended effortsthe impact of the work diffuses and the challenges remain, doggedly evidentin people's daily lives. It suggests that perhaps something is wrong in ourinterpretation, in our analysis, in our approach and our consequent measureof effect of our activity with difficult schools.Improving Schools in Difficulty is structured around two parts, part oneexamines the principles of engagement with schools in difficulty and parttwo looks at ways of improving the process of supporting schools in difficulty.
