This book covers a range of innovative teaching techniques and examples aimed at engaging students in the environment learning process. The book identifies environmental movements as emerging social phenomenon that had enormous social and political implications but whose patterns of social and cultural origins had yet to be fully understood. Moreover, given Asia’s extremely diverse social, cultural, and political backgrounds, it is believed that the contours and consequences of environmentalism in the region could only be fruitfully explored from a comparative perspective. The chapters in this book are thus intended to be something of a teaching guide for environment teachers. Our opening chapter presents a brief history of environment education in higher education and reviews current practices in undergraduate teaching of environment.
