"Robin Attfield is one of the best environmental ethicists of our times, and his new book manages again to bridge the chasm between abstract moral principles and concrete political reality. Critical citizens who want to be informed about the state of the question both in its normative and its descriptive dimension will benefit from the book."Vittorio Hösle, University of Notre Dame"This wide-ranging book is an intensively researched intervention in ongoing debates on climate justice. It is an outstanding contribution due to its comprehensive and biocentric perspective. A must-read for policy makers, scholars and everyone interested in sustaining a life-worthy planet."Leonie N. Bossert, University of Tübingen"A compact, clearly written, extremely well-informed and deeply committed contribution to debate on this most urgent issue. Attfield's call for wiser, more responsible stewardship goes along with an exemplary care for facts, figures and detailed reportage. The book should be read by anyone who shares his passionate concern for the flourishing – even the bare survival – of life on Earth."Christopher Norris, University of Cardiff"A very readable account of the science involved, together with estimates of climatic effects on all living things, including humans, and an examination of the ethical and moral questions that confront us as the world heats up."The Friend"... blends scientific facts, philosophical reasoning, and ethical concerns, making it a valuable guide for students, policymakers, and activists."The Philosophical Quarterly"I would happily give this book to an undergraduate class. The text is clear and would spark excellent discussion."Reviews in Science, Religion and Theology"Alternating descriptive chapters with more normative ones, the author leads the reader to become aware of the complexity and urgency of these issues. It is a reading that is more necessary than ever." Professor Giulia Battistoni, QuiEdit
