Can we do what we want with other species? How do conflicting international interests affect global issues? What do we owe the next generation? Just Environments investigates these questions and the ethics which lie at their core.

Recenzje

'An excellent compendium which will enhance the intellectual content of most bookshelves - and I might say that it shows pretty conclusively that, despite the misgivings of many greens, the language of justice can be used to further their cause.' - Local Environment
