«<i>Place, Being, Resonance</i> reminds me of David Abram’s astonishing phenomenological breakthroughs in <i>The Spell of the Sensuous.</i> Yet Michael W. Derby’s prose is edgier, and his form reaches for and achieves a strikingly satisfying blend of poetry and philosophy. This book woke me up. It makes us remember parts of our wholeness and connection to the world that we are always in danger of losing. The ecopedagogy movement needs poets. Derby’s fresh vision rekindles my hope for an environmental education that brings us closer to our experience of the world as we work to transform it by being fully awake in it, as it.»<br /> (David Greenwood, Canada Research Chair in Environmental Education, Lakehead University)<br /> «How to teach in ways that honor life? This is the pressing educational question of the twenty-first century, one that goes to the heart of what it means to teach, and live, in an age of ecological (and therefore intellectual and spiritual) crisis. In this brilliant, unsettling, questing book, Michael W. Derby invites us to follow the mycelial threads of ecopoetics and ecohermeneutics as they begin to dissolve the crystalline orthodoxies of the modern imagination.»<br /> (Mark Fettes, Associate Professor of Education, Simon Fraser University)
