Abstract	Where to start in addressing the cultural/linguistic roots of the ecological crisis : challenging the misconceptions underlying modern consciousness -- The cultural aspects of the ecological crisis -- The relational and emergent nature of cultural and natural ecologies -- Language issues that should be the central focus in teacher education and curriculum studies -- Why the George Lakoff and Mark Johnson theory of metaphorical thinking fails to address the linguistic issues related to the ecological crisis -- The cultural construction and uses of data -- The political economy of the cultural commons and the nature of sustainable wealth -- The cultural mediating role of the teacher/professor--across the disciplines -- Educational reforms in an era of global warming and digital insecurities -- The challenge facing educational reformers : making the transition from individual to ecological intelligence -- Gregory Bateson's contribution to understanding ecological intelligence -- Rethinking social justice issues within an eco-justice conceptual and moral framework -- Educational reforms that contribute to democratizing the uses of digital technologies -- The digital revolution and the unrecognized problem of linguistic colonization -- Has the authority of data consigned wisdom to the junk-heap of history? -- Is the digital revolution driven by an ideology? -- Is the digital revolution sowing the seeds of a techno-fascist future?. "In this volume C.A. (Chet) Bowers, whose pioneering work on education and environmental and sustainability issues is widely recognized and respected around the world, brings together a carefully curated selection of his seminal work on the ideological, cultural, and linguistic roots of the ecological crisis; misconceptions underlying modern consciousness; the cultural commons; a critique of technology; and educational reforms to address these pressing concerns. In the World Library of Educationalists, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/practical contributions - so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field, as well as the development of the field itself. Contributors to the series include : Michael Apple, James A. Banks, Joel Spring, William F. Pinar, Stephen J. Ball, Elliot Eisner, Howard Gardner, John Gilbert, Ivor F. Goodson, Peter Jarvis"--Provided by publisher.
