The first comprehensive treatment of environmental philosophy,
going beyond ethics to address the philosophical concepts that
underlie environmental thinking and policy-making today
* Encompasses all of environmental philosophy, including
conservation biology, restoration ecology, sustainability,
environmental justice, and more
* Offers the first treatment of decision theory in an
environmental philosophy text
* Explores the conceptions of nature and ethical presuppositions
that underlie contemporary environmental debates, and, moving from
theory to practice, shows how decision theory translates to public
policy
* Addresses both hot-button issues, including population and
immigration reform, and such ongoing issues as historical legacies
and nations' responsibility and obligation for environmental
problems
* Anchors philosophical concepts to their practical applications,
establishing the priority of the discipline's real-world
importance
