'it is a very moving book. It is not the kind of philosophy book you read and then push aside murmuring something about 'important but boring'. This book is important and exciting. When I read Katz's reflections on nature while he was at the Jewish graveyard or when I read his interpretation of Anne Frank's words about the chestnut tree, I was enthused. If we want our students not only to think about environmental dilemmas but to live them, experience them, then this is the book' Avner de-Shalit in Environmental Values
