Ecology, Spirituality, and Education Curriculum for Relational Knowing

«This rigorous and evocative study - influenced by deep ecology, ecofeminism, postmodernism - guides us into a world of relationality and sustainability. It is, to employ Riley-Taylor's apt term, an instance of 'eco-spiritual praxis'.» (William F. Pinar, St. Bernard Parish Alumni Endowed Professor, Louisiana State University)
«Elaine Riley-Taylor invites us to walk a path with her that traverses richly textured ground; a ground-breaking path in its originality and vision. Riley-Taylor's weaving of personal narrative and philosophical analysis offers an ecospiritual perspective intended for educators faced with increasing alienation, domination, and mind-numbing standardization. Through her poetic «methodology» of storytelling and creative theoretical integration, Riley-Taylor develops a powerful praxis to transform our epistemological and ethical assumptions. Her message deserves attention: the future of our planet could depend on it.» (Wendy Kohli, Director of Teacher Education, The New School, and President of the American Educational Studies Association, 2000-2001)
