"This is the comprehensive and critical analysis of environmental education and management. Environmental education is the education through about and for the environment.

The objectives of environmental education are part of the general objectives of education which have been defined variously by different thinkers, classifiers, humanists and scientists. Environmental management aims at the development of the environment for human benefit; it is the process of balancing the socio economic, technological and ecological forces in the development and allocation of resources in order to fulfil the needs and aspirations of present and future generations. In doing so, environmental management should work to preserve the maximum evolutionary potential of the biosphere." (jacket)
