To verify the existence of intracommunity spillovers, the paper shows that home-owners in England and Wales are prepared to pay a substantial permium to avoid educationally poor neighbourhoods. One interpretation of this educational elasticity
is that it estimates the social benefits of education in the local community. A hedonic approach is used, paying careful attention to the endogeneity of neighbourhood characteristics in a property price model.

an authoritative framework for educators and communicators to frame climate science. However, effective mental models to address misconceptions will need to be integral to the high-quality resources and professional development programs required to significantly
While aggressive media, corporate, and political forces are often regarded as the primary cause of the public's climate confusion, a review of 5 decades of science education relating to climate in general and climate change in particular reveals
that basic climate science has not been well addressed in national and state education standards or science education curricula. Moreover, key misconceptions and misinformation are strongly held by students, teachers and public audiences. The AA. review

Young teachers were questioned about the quality of their training. The result : All three fields are considered to be highly important, the training in all three fields is considered to be unsatisfactory. Geography would have to offer more
methodology and regional geography. Geographical education should offer more new teaching methods, computer training and didactics for field trips. The Educational Sciences should supply more problem-oriented case studies. - (HPB)
