This booklet consists of three thematically interrelated essays which deal with the concepts of self, environment and communication. The first essay examines the relationship between self and nature and urges a new way of analyzing that relationship. The second essay seeks to explore a number of dominant models of communication with a view to highlight some of the communication issues related to communicating environmental knowledge. He third essay which deals with knowledge generation and communication attempts to examine afresh some of the theoretical issues impinging on this effort. The environment has become the central focus of discussion in both the developed and developing countries and rightly so. Unless urgent and concentrated attention is paid to environmental issues and minimize the ecological degradation, we all may face a very bleak future. In these essays ecological problems have been approached largely from a communication angle.
