Sharing Nature with Children
As Joseph Cornell's classic book approaches its 20th anniversary, Cornell has drawn upon a wealth of experience in nature education to significantly revise and expand his book. New nature games - favorites from the field - and Cornell's typically insightful commentary will make the second edition of this special classic even more valuable to nature lovers world-wide. The Sharing Nature movement that Cornell pioneered has now expanded to countries all over the globe. Recommended by Boy Scouts of America, American Camping Association, National Audubon Society and many others. Sharing Nature with Children is not just a book, but a powerful approach to nature education. The first edition of this book sparked a worldwide revolution in nature education, and became a classic. The author, Joseph Cornell, is one of the most highly regarded nature educators in the world today. His expertise, and his irrepressible enthusiasm for the grandeur and mystery of nature, spill over onto every page. His unique blend of knowledge and warmth creates an atmosphere for learning that is very contagious. In honor of the book's 20th Anniversary, Cornell drawing upon his experience giving workshops worldwide has added eight new games and revised many others in this second edition.

EarthScore:
I highly
recommend this book. This book will connect you to the
earth. To be more precise, it will make you aware of your connections to
the earth. Physically, we interact with the earth in hundreds of
different ways, most often indirectly through things we buy like food,
consumer goods, and electricity--but also directly in acts such as
driving and gardening. EarthScore takes you through a fun and
educational exercise and tallies Impact Points, which assess one's
impact on the environment; counts Action Points, measuring positive
contributions, and provides a score and rating on your own EarthScore
chart. Used by many organizations and colleges.

Building
Classroom Communities: Strategies for Developing a Culture of Caring
This is a perfect book for the busy teacher interested in developing a "culture of caring" in her/his classroom. The book provides clear, concise information and activities on how to develop a strong classroom community and can be read in a couple of sittings. As we strive to help our children learn how to respect and appreciate the earth, and the animals and plants, it often becomes apparent that far too few children respect themselves and other people. In fact, it becomes strikingly clear that many children lack valuable interpersonal skills – in particular compassion for others. Building Classroom Communities: Strategies for Developing a Culture of Caring by David A. Levine goes a long way in helping to develop invaluable classroom practices to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to develop and support each other. In addition to excellent community building activities, David Levine presents an easy-to-implement approach to teaching empathy. Creating a classroom environment which supports children in the development of these invaluable personal skills will not only affect the students that are in your classroom, but it will spread out to all the living creatures that have contact with these more empowered and compassionate human beings.
