ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: CASE STUDY The purpose of this book is to improve the current situation of EE in
developing countries, through surveying, as a case study, the status of formal
and nonformal EE programs in Jordan. EE occurs in many formal and nonformal
settings, ranging from school-based environmental curricula, through the
activities executed by the environmental conservation organizations, to mass
media conservation programs. In a uniquely balanced manner, Author Qasem
Alnewashi shows that the environmental beliefs and behaviors of man in natural
and social contexts reflect the need for linking formal and nonformal
environmental learning For more details and ordering information contact: newashi@xxxxxx or qasem17@xxxxxxxxx.
