The skillful blend of classic and contemporary essays generates a clear sense both of the ongoing debates and the developing agenda of the subject, and demonstrates its growing importance for social decision-making. <i>Alan Holland, Lancaster University, UK</i> <br /> <p>This anthology will get environmental ethics unstuck. It contains all the landmarks of the first great period of environmental ethics, but also fresh and provocative reflections that will steer the enterprise out of its present self-absorption and in socially trenchant and politically fruitful directions. <i>Albert Borgmann, University of Montana</i><br /> </p> <p>"<i>Environmental Ethics</i> is comprehensive, assembles both classics and new initiatives, and is organized so as to throw into clear relief the focal issues and critical debates that define the field. It is an invaluable guide for navigating the rapidly changing terrain that is environmental ethics, and one that pushes the field forward on a number of important fronts. <i>Alison Wylie, Washington University, St. Louis</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Andrew Light</b> is Assistant Professor of Environmental Philosophy at New York University, and Research Fellow at the Institute for Environment, Philosophy, and Public Policy at Lancaster University, UK.
