About this title

Review:

''Robin Attfield has always been good at bringing together the fragmented, and sometimes quarrelsome, assemblies of campaigners who (somewhat desperately) strive to protect our planet. Here he does it again, wisely pointing out how many different reasons there are for attempting this enterprise and how they can most usefully be combined É Congratulations!''
Mary Midgley

''Attfield, for decades a leading figure in the field, continues at the forefront with his É second edition É here is further proof that environmental ethics is alive, well, challenging, and urgent on Earth.''
Holmes Rolston, III, Colorado State University

''This is clearly the best introductory book in environmental ethics to date. It covers an enormous range of topics in a rapidly expanding field and pays tribute to the diversity of perspectives and approaches without betraying its own distinctive moral stance.''
Dieter Birnbacher, Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf
