Media Reviews
A timely and much-needed collection. * Enviromental Ethics *
Provides a wide spectrum of views on EVE, and advances current research on this topic....The essays are scholarly, imaginative, clearly written, and will be of interest to all readers with an interest in environmental philosophy. * Philosophy in Review, October 2006 *
The only book of its kind...an important addition to what one hopes will be a growing interest in EVE. * Environmental Values *
The content is. . . interesting and important. It should not be mistaken for a standard textbook addressing solutions to practical engineering problems. * International Journal of Environmental Studies *
