This book breaks new ground in that its purpose is to "mainstream" teaching about the environment in higher education. Despite the holistic nature of the content, the book is structured-with two exceptions-around disciplinary chapters. The opening chapter, "Reinventing Higher Education," and the final chapter, "Reinventing the Classroom: Connected Teaching," provide an interdisciplinary frame for the book. Disciplinary chapters include anthropology, biology, economics, geography, history, literature, media and journalism, philosophy, political science, and religion. Each chapter begins with an introduction that asks, "What can the content and methodology of this discipline bring to the study of the environment?" and conversely, "What challenges and opportunities does this material create for teaching basic concepts in this discipline?" Sample plans are presented next, either for course units or for full courses. Material for introductory or lower division courses generally precedes that for advanced or upper division courses. The chapters each conclude with a resources section that includes teaching materials, print and nonprint, and background material for the instructor. (JRH)

In Bring Back the Buffalo!, Ernest Callenbach argues that the return of the bison is the key to a sustainable future for the Great Plains. Vast stretches of the region have seen a steady decline in population and are ill-suited for traditional agriculture or cattle ranching. Yet those same areas provide ideal habitat for bison. Callenbach explores the past history, present situation, and future potential of bison in North America as he examines what can and should be done to re-establish bison as a significant presence in the American landscape. He looks forward with high hopes to a time when vast herds of buffalo provide permanent sustenance to the rural inhabitants of the Great Plains and again play a central role in the balance of nature.

This book presents sustainable development themes across universities and introduces methodological approaches and projects to the teaching staff. It has been prepared against this background, to identify ways to better teach about sustainability issues in a university context. It contains a set of papers presented at a Symposium with the same title, held at Manchester Metropolitan University (UK) in March 2017. The event was attended by a number of institutions of higher education active in this field. It involved researchers in the field of sustainable development in the widest sense, from business and economics, to arts and fashion, administration, environment, languages and media studies. Sustainability is seldom systematically embedded in the curriculum at higher education institutions. Yet, proper provisions for curricular integration of sustainability issues as part of teaching programmes across universities are an important element towards curriculum greening. The aims of this book are: (i) to provide teaching staff at universities active and/or interested in teaching sustainable development themes with an opportunity to document and disseminate their works (i.e. curriculum innovation, empirical work, activities, case studies practical projects); (ii) to promote information, ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of teaching courses, especially successful initiatives and good practice; (iii) to introduce methodological approaches and projects which aim to offer a better understanding of how matters related to sustainable development can be tackled in university teaching. Last but not least, a further aim of this book, prepared by the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP) and the World Sustainable Development Research and Transfer Centre (WSD-RTC), is to catalyse a debate on the need to promote sustainable development teaching today.
