    Foreword
    (0000) Hall, Budd L
    This foreword by Budd L. Hall appears in Knowledge Translation in Context: Indigenous, Policy, and Community Settings, edited by Elizabeth M. Banister, Bonnie J. Leadbeater and E. Anne Marshal. It places the book within a wider knowledge movement aimed at recovering a knowledge commons and traces how action research, participatory research, and Indigenous approaches have worked towards this. The collection is welcomed as a broad account of what knowledge translation means in health. Attention is also drawn to the role of context, the place of Indigenous ways of knowing, questions of power, and the need for academic recognition of engaged research and for knowledge that supports social change.

    The future begins today: Nature as teacher in environmental adult popular education
    (Elsevier, 1997) Hall, Budd L; Clover, Darlena E
    The future begins today is a review of the importance and role of learning, specifically environmental adult and popular education, in working with communities and community-based organizations on planning, organizing and revisioning life from an ecological perspective. The authors report on their work based at the Transformative Learning Centre in Toronto, Canada which explores the role of nature as both teacher and site of learning. Theoretical and practical illustrations are included. All education, up to our present moment, has never countenanced the possibility of planetary destruction from the destruction of the life-support system. This viability of planetary existence was never an issue for educators because it was not, until now, part of our cultural understanding. (Hall and O'Sullivan, Transformative Learning: Contexts and Practices, 1994) The human enterprise cannot be separated from the natural world even in our minds because no such separation exists in nature.(Wackernagel and Rees, Our Ecological Footprint, 1995).
