A new textbook on the ecology of landscape ecology: With, K.A.: Essentials of Landscape Ecology, Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK, 2019, 656 pp. illus. maps; paper, ISBN: 978-01988-3839-5, USD $65; ebook, 978-01988-3838-8, USD $49.99 Landscape ecology teaching has advanced through generations of textbooks since Naveh and Lieberman, and Forman and Godron's seminal texts of the mid-1980s. But until now, there has never been a landscape ecology textbook that so completely embodies the look and feel of a mainstream undergraduate textbook in the environmental sciences.

Interlacing children's and adults' experiences of their daily living environments in India and the UK with research and contemporary discourse on the environment, climate change and childhood, this book makes a valuable addition to geographies of children, young people and families. Researchers working with children, young people and families, those interested in unpicking climate change discourses, in environmental education and in conducting international research will value a relatively detailed insight into study methodology - more than can be afforded in a research paper. The authors make clear their censures of over-simplified portrayals of children as "our future" or as "the next generation" found within climate change policy, and we are reminded that, whilst these framings seem to take children seriously, powerful and complex generational practices set by parents and other adults are at play.
