So many resources, so little time!

I don't know about you, but I sometimes find the amount of information that is available on the internet, in the library and all around me a little overwhelming. That is why I love it when a friend or colleague recommends a resource to me: something I pull from the volumes of information around me. A number of you have sent e-mails with content, ideas and suggestions of books and articles. I will be posting them all in due course. I hope that as we enter into the "slower" summer season, you may have some time to reflect, to read and to get reinvigorated again. You may find me on one of the many beautiful beaches of Nova Scotia in July, with one of the following texts in my hand (hey, life is short, I like to multi-task!). What books and resources would you recommend? Where are the places you like to spend time in the summer months?

Ramesh was kind enough to take the time to send some suggested books:

• Sustainability Education: Perspectives and Practices across Higher Education
• Higher Education and the Challenge of Sustainability: Problematics, Promise, and Practice
• Using Statistics to Understand the Environment

And Anne Marie suggested this one:

• Pedagogy of the Earth: Education for a Sustainable Future

I have asked the CAID if they have any of these books, and will let you know the response. The SMU library does not hold the first two but has the third one.

Ramesh also suggested that if you google "sustainability and curriculum" and select the videos option, there are quite a few useful videos. I had done this myself prior to the Workshop this past week, but we didn't have time to watch any. Here are a few that might be of interest:
