The Role of the Humanities in Environmental Education
Swanson, Carl P.
American Biology Teacher, 37, 2, 84-89,99, Feb 75
The author purports that the humanistic approach to environmental education is essential. Environmental problems arise because man is somewhere in the picture making use of an environment to maintain or improve his way of life, therefore, an environmental crisis is a crisis of the human spirit. The author cites many pieces of literature which illustrate man's involvement in the environment. (BR)
