Zen Paths Based extensively on Eastern wisdom including Taoism and Buddhism, but also drawing on Western spiritual and philosophical thought, each of these books is a collection of sayings paired with conceptual photography that encourages the reader to explore new ways of interpreting the world and their place within it. Only by achieving harmony, being open to change, and embracing laughter, can we lead balanced and fulfilling lives. Most of the photographs are of natural scenes, but some are of people and places. The sepia photographs give a beautiful and evocative feel to books that will surely be a treasured addition to any library. Zen Paths to Harmony A journey to inner peace and harmony can follow many paths. In this inspirational book, a selection of haiku and poetry from Zen masters such as Basho and Ryokan together with sayings, koan, and extracts from literature appear alongside natural images to encourage you to consider the concept of harmony more deeply.

This book is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of education, sustainability, and critical theory. The authors challenge dominant ecoliteracy paradigms and argue for a reconstruction of critical pedagogy in response to our current ecological conditions. Through a range of theoretical influences, the book offers the foundations of a philosophy of ecopedagogy for the global north. It is a must-read for educators and activists alike looking to engage with the urgent issue of sustainable education.
