Book Synopsis
Tracing the history of ethical extension over two thousand years, this book focuses on the American experience where natural rights ideology expanded to encompass the rights of nature. It deals primarily with intellectual history, but also considers groups that have put their ideas into action.

Trade Review
A splendid book. Roderick Nash has written another classic. This exploration of a new dimension in environmental ethics is both illuminating and overdue."
—Stewart Udall

"His account makes history 'come alive.'"—Sierra

"So smoothly written that one almost does not notice the breadth of scholarship that went into this original and important work of environmental history."
—Philip Shabecoff, New York Times Book Review

"Clarifying and challenging, this is an essential text for deep ecologists and ecophilosophers."—Stephanie Mills, Utne Reader
