Environmental Philosophy: From Animal Rights to Radical Ecology (4th Edition)

Very difficult to understand, but if you are majoring in Environmental Philosophy you might enjoy it. I couldn't get into it, only bought it for a required course.

the book is awesome and very interesting. It seemed boring at fist, but once I began reading, I could not put it down.. I recommend to you. Received in great conditions.

This book was assigned reading for a college class on Sustainable Development. I'd already had some exposure to the philosophies & theories presented. It seems to be a good collection representing a wide range of ideas; a great piece for my reference shelf. In other words: a keeper!

Correct item shipped expeditiously with great follow up. You are a wonderful asset to this community.Kind regardsBazyli** GREAT BOOK **

The book is essentially what you'd see as a reader for an environmental philosophy class. The editor does a good job -trying- to distinguish between the different views each author has on particular elements, but at some points he sort of gives into the chaos and just makes it clear that things are quite complex. It would not have been difficult to make some tables regarding who stands where on what issues in what contexts - this is the type of orientation that students really need.The content itself is valuable, and I'm glad to have been exposed to it. However, this is essentially just a nicely produced reader, with many essays decades old, and I'd have been just as happy with a 5th hand, coffee stained copy from some free pile . . . or even finding the articles online.I'm pretty mad at this book, and I don't really get mad. First, the spine began to crack and peel away while reading first chapter - the kind of thing where the sections of pages start coming apart, opening the spine even more for more sections to get free. THIS SUCKS. I had to try taping the thing up, which didn't help much, and only opening the book half way while reading; if I had pushed the book open flat onto a table the whole spine would certainly have cracked. Second, this text has no index. No index. I've worked with a publisher before and there is software that will generate an index based on certain types of words meeting certain thresholds - it's not labor intensive anymore. The audience for this text is university students who NEED to be able to find key ideas/authors/events quickly. If this were a $15 paperback, which it should be, I wouldn't be complaining. I paid $70 for this book, which is essentially a reader, which fell apart while carefully reading it, and I had to create my own index by hand!I really suggest you find some way to avoid paying for this text!

I needed this for a course. I bought a used version and it came in great condition.

Needed for course. Informative book.
