"Cohabiting Earth is a courageous book, both in the blunt assessment of the multiple cascading ecological/social crises we face and in the refusal to give up on efforts to make a better future. This eclectic collection of writers provides a roadmap of how we got here and where we need to go." — Robert Jensen, School of Journalism and Media, University of Texas at Austin, coauthor of An Inconvenient Apocalypse: Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity"There is no shortage of anthologies on environmental ethics and even on ecocentrism. That said, there is a real freshness and vitality in Cohabiting Earth. I consistently found myself excited to try this volume out in my Environmental Ethics courses. I think my students would greatly benefit from and enjoy it." — Brian G. Henning, author of Value, Beauty, and Nature: The Philosophy of Organism and the Metaphysical Foundations of Environmental Ethics
