New edition of a NOLS classic; the definitive book on environmental
ethics and their relation to managing wildlands An excellent
introduction to all relevant federal agencies and legislation
Objectively examines various perspectives on difficult ethical
questions
Originally published in 1992 as "An Introduction to Wildland
Ethics and Management," this fully revised and updated edition is a
powerful tool for understanding the challenges facing wilderness in
the United States today. Beginning with the premise that land
management must be informed by a well-developed wilderness ethic,
the authors delve into some of the thorniest problems in
environmental ethics, exploring them in clear, straightforward
language: What is wilderness? Why should it be protected? Do
animals have rights? Do trees? When should wilderness concerns
trump individual priorities? The book also provides a fascinating
history of the wilderness movement in America and gives a
comprehensive survey of the legislation and agency structures that
define wildlands management today. Essential reading for land
managers, activists, policymakers, or anyone else who cares about
the future of wilderness in the United States.
