Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewA terrific collection. The political or ideological balance in each of these case studies is impressive. -- Mark Sagoff, Institute of Philosophy and Public Policy, University of Maryland
Truly exemplary work. I have no doubt that this book would greatly benefit undergraduate environmental ethics courses. -- Udo Schuklenk, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
The accessible presentation and the range of issues make this a good choice for interdisciplinary classes in environmental studies and policy as well as classes in environmental ethics and philosophy. * Environment *
Up-to-date and well-grounded. It's reasonable in length, clearly written with very usable questions for classroom use. -- Susan Armstrong, Humboldt State University
