Rezensionen

'Resnik has written a wonderful introduction to the field of environmental health ethics. He supplies a wealth of information about the key ethical issues in the field, as well as the science that underlies those issues. Moreover, he proposes a set of ethical principles - including both human-focused and environment-focused considerations - for addressing ethical questions related to environmental health.' Kevin C. Elliott, University of South Carolina
