Ultimately this handbook is a comprehensive exposition of the breadth and depth of the field of environmental ethics. It adeptly ranges over theoretical and practical aspects as well as various subtle challenges, both conceptual/philosophical and those that impede the ability to effect change. It can serve equally well as a reference or introductory groundwork. As a result, it would be a welcome addition to any environmental ethics library. Anyone from a curious beginning student to a teacher or other professional, in practical fields ranging from academia, or politics to environmental science, will be well served with this volume.
