Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

How we see the world - our attitudes and assumptions about it - profoundly affects the way we deal with it. This book is written by an interdisciplinary team of ecologists, nature conservationists and environmental philosophers. It seeks to make the connection between theoretical approaches to the valuation of the natural world and how these work in practice. The book provides valuable insights into resolving difficult decisions in the context of setting conservation priority. Compiled primarily for the practising environmental scientist, it is also valuable for the professional environmental philosopher and theologian. Ecologists and Ethical Judgements is also ideally suited as a supplementary text for students on environmental science courses including ecology, conservation biology and wildlife management, and those interested in environmental issues in a social science context such as environmental philosophy, science policy and theology. It develops further the integration of insights from moral philosophy with the science of ecology.
