To help with the teaching of wilderness expeditionary leadership, this book contains knowledge regarded as essential for Wilderness Education Association (WEA) instructors. WEA courses are educational expeditions of 28-35 days designed to teach outdoor leadership in wilderness environments. Chapters focus on the "whys" behind fundamental principles, on ways to teach in the field, and on complex or poorly understood issues of importance. Chapter 1 introduces WEA and discusses outdoor leadership certification, WEA Steward Programs, and WEA accreditation of university courses. Chapter 2 draws on the literature of outdoor leadership and social and organizational psychology to develop a framework for making quality decisions in the field. Chapter 3 examines group dynamics in the outdoors and the behavior and styles of effective leaders. Chapter 4 discusses the teaching of environmental ethics and camping practices to minimize ecological and social impact. Chapter 5 outlines basic wilderness skills--selection of clothing and equipment, trail techniques, teaching navigation, and basic camping practices. Chapter 6 describes nutrition, rations planning, and outdoor food preparation. Chapter 7 reviews adventure skills, travel modes and organization, safety, accident prevention, and risk management. Chapter 8 describes pretrip medical requirements for participants, first aid kits, and wilderness emergency procedures and treatment. Chapter 9 outlines program administration--planning, development, outfitting, and evaluation. Each chapter contains a reference list. An index is included. (SV)

The Book of Numbers is a story of identity, wilderness, and God. Numbers continues the historical narrative begun in Exodus, the story of God's people newly freed from Egypt's shackles and wandering toward the promised land. While Numbers accounts for the next 39 years of their wilderness wandering, it's also a story of God's presence among His beloved. Even when they rebelled--and this book tells of many rebellions--God's love and promises remained. It's in that love and those promises the children of Israel found their identity and where we must find ours today.

“Nature deficit disorder” has become an increasingly challenging problem in our hypermodern world. In Awake in the Wild, Mark Coleman shows seekers how to remedy this widespread malady by reconnecting with nature through Buddhism. Each short (two to three pages) chapter includes a concrete nature meditation relating to such topics as Attuning to the Natural World, Reflecting the Rhythms of Nature, Walking with Compassion, Releasing the Inner Noise, Freeing the Animal Within, Coming into the Peace of Wild Things, Weathering the Storms of Life, and more. Incorporating anecdotes from the author’s many nature retreats, Buddhist wisdom and teachings, important nature writings by others, and nature itself, the book invites readers to participate in, not just observe, nature; develop a loving connection with the earth as a form of environmental activism; decrease urban alienation through experiencing nature; embody nature’s peaceful presence; and connect with ancient spiritual wisdom through nature meditations.

This book offers an energizing Christian vision for the art of teaching. The authors — experienced teachers themselves — encourage teacher-readers to reanimate their work by imagining it differently. David Smith and Susan Felch, along with Barbara Carvill, Kurt Schaefer, Timothy Steele, and John Witvliet, creatively use three metaphors — journeys and pilgrimages, gardens and wilderness, buildings and walls — to illuminate a fresh vision of teaching and learning. Stretching beyond familiar clichés, they infuse these metaphors with rich biblical echoes and theological resonances that will inform and inspire Christian teachers everywhere.
