Rezensionen

"Watras (education, Univ. of Dayton) argues the need for an alternative ethical framework for American democracy that offsets the ongoing process of environmental destruction these values engender. ... Watras's book is important reading for anyone interested in the problem of environmental destruction. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers." (J. A. Fischel, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
