This latest book by Chet Bowers, The Way Educational Reforms that Focus on the Cultural Commons and the Linguistic Roots of the Ecological/Cultural Crises, provides a more in-depth examination of several themes he has introduced before, as well as an introduction to issues that other environmental and educational writers have ignored. The former includes understanding cultures, including daily cultural practices, as ecologiesand how these micro-ecologies affect the life-sustaining viability of natural ecologies.

These include expanding upon the thinking of Walter Ong and Eric Hav
