"Simply the best 'field-guide' to environmental philosophy anywhere. Dale Jamieson has assembled an insightful
set of chapters - the topics are well chosen, the writing is crisp, and the thinking is compelling. The volume
is also historically informed, theoretically rich, multicultural, and practical - all especially appreciated strengths."
