It is uncommon to remind us in a beautifully textured as well as scientifically rigorous way about·what we seek to sustain and protect. In this work, Danko Taborosi reminds us what is at stake and why so many of us are anxious about the future. It will serve as a sourcebook for educators, policy makers and advocates.for years to come...”
