What is Environmental Values (Routledge Introductions to Environment: Environment and Society Texts) about?

We Live In A World Confronted By Mounting Environmental Problems; Increasing Global Deforestation And Desertification, Loss Of Species Diversity, Pollution And Global Warming. In Everyday Life People Mourn The Loss Of Valued Landscapes And Urban Spaces. Underlying These Problems Are Conflicting Priorities And Values. Yet Dominant Approaches To Policy-making Seem Ill-equipped To Capture The Various Ways In Which The Environment Matters To Us. Environmental Values Introduces Readers To These Issues By Presenting, And Then Challenging, Two Dominant Approaches To Environmental Decision-making, One From Environmental Economics, The Other From Environmental Philosophy. The Authors Present A Sustained Case For Questioning The Underlying Ethical Theories Of Both Of These Traditions.

The Book Examines The Implications Of This Approach For Policy Issues Such As Biodiversity Conservation And Sustainability. Written In A Clear
