Rezensionen

Praise for the First Edition:

"This is an introduction to environmental ethics that only Holmes Rolston could write - at once gut-wrenchingly direct and poetically-inspired, it will attract new generations to the field that he did so much to create."
Dale Jamieson, New York University

"A succinct overview of the field from its most important thinker, this book is the indispensable introduction to environmental ethics."
Willis Jenkins, Yale University

"Highly recommended."
