[This book] will appeal to philosophically informed and inquiring scientists, planners, geographers - all those of us who knowingly intervene in the world. [...] The pleasure [...] of this book lies in hearing the early ecophilosophers in their own voices together with today's generation as they make sense of the same serious themes and concerns in the context of ever more pressing environmental issues using the structuring insights from critical realism. Sarah E. Cornell, Stockholm University, Sweden, in Journal of Critical Realism
