Through the Eyes of John Muir presents a series of hands on and engaging lessons designed for classroom teachers, parents of both home school and independent study students. Through this guide students will learn how to think and make evidence-based decisions. Lessons cross disciplines to meet educational standards for science, language arts and social studies.

One learns that the world, though made is still being made. That this is still the morning of creation.

Divided into three main sections, the book begins by discussing John Muir’s life and accomplishments. His timeless quotes prompt thoughtful reflection suitable for any age. Section two provides opportunities for students to conduct evidence-based field studies. Lessons in the final section engage students to take personal responsibility by learning how to practice sound environmental stewardship and advocacy. Section three also features opportunities to identify Modern Day Muirs, understand the role of government agencies that protect wild lands, parks and forests, and create the student’s own vision for the future.
