The book has been authored by Gillian Judson, who is a teacher, educator and lecturer. The publisher's note on the book informs that ecological education is becoming a major area of interest worldwide, and schools are increasingly being called upon to address global and local ecological concerns. Unfortunately, most teachers have limited or no training in the knowledge and skills required supporting their students' sense of connection to the natural world, it adds.

Published by Peter Lang Pub Inc, the book talks about the ways of fostering students' imagination while teaching various topics of ecology since most teachers they have been trained to teach conventionally. The book is also available in hardcover and online formats.

The book running into 184 pages illustrates how imagination and the development of ecological understanding by learners can be linked. The book can work as a practical guide for the teachers for ecologically-oriented education in all classrooms since the methods discussed in the book can be used to teach other subjects too imaginatively. It is claimed that as imagination takes a central position in schools, all teaching and learning can improve as a result.
