It is a special time in which to be writing this review of a series of books that are based on a seven-year project between teachers and educational researchers in different cities and regions of China and Canada.Entitled "Reciprocal Learning in Teacher Education and School Education between Canada and China," the project, co-directed by Shijing Xu at the University of Windsor and Michael Connelly at OISE/University of Toronto, has run from 2013 to 2020 and may now move forward into a wider circle of collaboration that enables educators, in collaboration with water scientists, to bring concerns around water and environmental sustainability into their pre-service programs and school classrooms.Before commenting on the books themselves, I would like to begin with some general points.
