Review

“A concise overview of the field from its most important thinker, this ebook is the indispensable introduction to environmental ethics.” — Willis Jenkins, Yale University

“This is an overview to environmental ethics that only Holmes Rolston could write- at once gut-wrenchingly straight and poetically-inspired, it will appeal new generations to the field that he did so much to create.” — Dale Jamieson, New York University

“Holmes Rolston’s A New Environmental Ethics is new in the best sense: a fresh, honest appraisal of where we are and where we are heading.  Similarly, it is old in the best sense. There comes a time to reveal where we have been and why, what we have achieved, and what we stand for. This is Rolston’s time, and he is a voice that will be heard across generations.” — David Schmidtz, University of Arizona
