By addressing specific global problems and placing them within an
ethical context, "The Environment in Question" provides the reader
with both a theoretical and practical understanding of
environmental issues. The contributors are internationally known
figures drawn from the various disciplines which bear upon these
issues, such as geography, psychology, social policy, and
philosophy. The contributions range from those tackling individual
concrete issues (such as nuclear waste and the threat to the rain
forest) to those addressing matters of policy, principle and
attitude (such as our obligations to future generations and the
nature of technological risk).
"The Environment in Question" is designed as a text for students
of philosophy, environmental science, environmental education,
ecology, and teacher education. It can be used as an
inter-disciplinary, self-contained course book or in conjunction
with relevant material. In addition, as the essays directly and
controversially address current environmental debates in a
non-technical manner, it is of great interest both to professionals
in those areas and to readers who care about the planet's future.
The substantial cross-section of concerns and approaches will
enable all readers to develop the necessary level of understanding
required to initiate and sustain debate on environmental issues.
