Summary:

Until recently, green issues (protecting the environment and sustainability, for example) were not a focal point for philosophical and ethical thought. That circumstance, however, has changed as climate change and the future of the planet have become dominant topics in our everyday lives. This reference, published in an easy-to-use encyclopedic format, includes background on numerous related topics and discussions, from animal ethics to wilderness protection. A glossary and chronology are included. Editor Newman (director, Office of Sustainable for Yale U., and lecturer, forestry and environment studies) and 72 co-authors contributed to this book.
