This book illustrates how humour can be a powerful tool for environmental education. Hailing from eight different countries, the authors’ inquiries are grounded in a range of sites of learning and focus on different comedic forms, offering a variety of perspectives on the ways humour features, or could feature, in environmental education.

The Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities explores the digital methods and tools scholars use to observe, interpret, and manage nature in several different academic fields. Employing historical, philosophical, linguistic, literary, and cultural lenses, this handbook explores how the digital environmental humanities (DEH), as an emerging field, recognises its convergence with the environmental humanities. As such, it is empirically, critically, and ethically engaged in exploring digitally mediated, visualised, and parsed framings of past, present, and future environments, landscapes, and cultures. Currently, humanities, geographical, cartographical, informatic, and comput...

Die voranschreitende Technologie der modernen Gesellschaft bringt eine fortschreitende Entfremdung zur Natur mit sich. Trotz der Hochverfügbarkeit und Fülle an digitaler Information scheint es fraglich, ob digitale Medien geeignet sind, Naturinhalte zu transportieren. Aufgabe der Umweltbildung ist es daher, Wege und Methoden zu finden, Mensch und Natur einander anzunähern. Besonders jungen Menschen, deren Freizeitgestaltung sich vermehrt digitalisiert, soll Beachtung geschenkt werden. Zur Darstellung gelangen ein historischer Überblick der Methoden und Ansätze der Umweltbildung sowie unterschiedliche Zielgruppen und Ursachen der Naturentfremdung. Mit dem Ziel dieser globalen Problematik entgegenzuwirken, gilt es, Perspektiven im Hinblick auf Maßnahmen und Strategien zur Förderung, der Naturverbundenheit aufzuzeigen, zu diskutieren und zu evaluieren.
