Books in the Environmental Ethics Values An series

On Friday, October 7, 1988, the rescue operation of three young gray whales trapped in ice off the Arctic coast, cost more than a million dollars. Using the story as a touchstone for critical comparison, the author explores three major traditions of environmental philosophy: extensionism, ecofeminism's 'care' ethic, and Heideggerian Phenomenology.

Focusses on basic ethical systems in forestry and forest management. This title also includes: philosophical issues in forestry ethics, codes of ethics in forestry and related natural resource sciences such as fisheries science and wildlife biology, ethical advocacy and whistleblowing in government resource agencies, and ecoforestry.

The prevailing view of nature has begun to move away from a traditionally Western humans-apart-from-nature attitude toward one that sees humans as a part of nature. This title describes these changes and what he perceives as a philosophical shift toward new holistic models of environmental ethics.
