"This collection of essays on environmental ethics is invaluable. It contains not just the classic ground-breaking essays on the land ethic, on shallow and deep ecology, and on socialist and feminist approaches to the environment (by Leopold, Naess, Bookchin, Merchant and others), but also up-to-the-minute essays on key issues, including anthropocentrism and speciesism and the rights of future generations, as well as reviewing the arguments around climate change. This book is essential reading for anyone wanting to sharpen their moral awareness in addressing the global environmental crisis." --Dermot Moran, University College Dublin "Boylan combines provocative readings on animals, environment and sustainability, with object lessons in how to think clearly about tricky cases. A neat feature of the book is the way in which the cases are deftly woven into the structure of the collection. The result is a hands-on guide on how to think clearly about some of the baffling issues in environmental ethics." --Andrew Brennan, La Trobe University The newly revised Third Edition of Environmental Ethics adds 8 brand-new contributions from leading and emerging scholars and updated pedagogical features that help students new to environmental ethics get a firm grasp on the main themes in this vibrant and practical area of study. A combination of established, foundational essays, insightful new contributions, and thought-provoking editorial content grounds students' understanding of the ethical dimensions of the environment and the place that human beings occupy within it. Thorough discussions of the theoretical background of environmental ethics, including worldview arguments for environmentalism and the anthropocentric vs. biocentric justification debate, precede examinations of applied environmental problems, like climate change and animal rights. The gold standard in introductory environmental ethics anthologies, Environmental Ethics delivers a uniquely informative and engaging approach to the seemingly intractable environmental problems humanity presently faces. It is the ideal resource for graduate and undergraduate students taking courses in ethics, the environment, law, and policy. It's also a must-read for industry consultants to ecologists, environmental scientists, and environmental policymakers.
