John Nolt's Environmental Ethics for the Long Term is an invaluable addition to the literature in environmental ethics. Nolt's emphasis on analytical thought and logical reasoning makes this book pleasingly rigorous, and his rich discussion of our responsibilities to distant human generations both clarifies and develops existing debates. Highly recommended! Clare Palmer, Professor of Philosophy, Texas A&M University, USA Prof. Nolt has an excellent grasp of the topics, and he deals with the most significant issues within these topics. His writing style is lucid and accessible to most undergraduate students. I highly recommend Environmental Ethics for the Long Term as a text for an introductory course in Environmental Ethics. Ernest Partridge, Retired Hulings Professor of Environmental Ethics, Northland College, USA This book has important things to say about key issues of our time - climate change, biodiversity loss, resource security. Our responses will shape the future for humans, for other species, for the planet. Nolt weaves together science, ethics and policy analysis in a way that is accessible, engaging and challenging. He makes a compelling case for broad policies and individual actions that will make the future better and he demonstrates why environmental ethics matters.
