This exploration of a new dimension in environmental ethics is both illuminating and overdue."—Stewart Udall"His account makes history 'come alive.'"—Sierra"So smoothly written that one almost does not notice the breadth of scholarship that went into this original and important work of environmental history."—Philip Shabecoff, New York Times Book Review"Clarifying and challenging, this is an essential text for deep ecologists and ecophilosophers."—Stephanie Mills, Utne Reader
