Report

"The book is well written, contains numerous colour figures and photographs (mostly good to excellent) throughout. In our opinion, this book has strong appeal to students, readers and researchers of both environmental education and ecotourism. This book is both a worthy and weighty contribution to these fields." (Mohamed Abioui, Monica Maria Axini, Dan Razvan Popoviciu and Ashwani Kumar Dubey, Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education, Vol. 24, 2021)
"The book is accessible to a wide range of readers, and stands in contrast to the more jargon-heavy literature in this genre." (Paul H. Mason, Australian Journal of Environmental Education, Issue (1-2), 2020)
