This collection of works on (and by) Callicott clearly depicts the current lay of the environmental ethics landscape and its ever-widening, open-ended future. What emerges from the articles taken together is a sketch of environmental ethics in what will have been its early history as loosely oriented around Callicott's work. - Environmental Ethics Since Callicott is one of the most important figures in the field of environmental philosophy, and one of the main disciples of Leopold's 'land ethic,' any study of his work is extremely helpful to scholars in the field. The four basic units-analyzing Callicott's work in terms of science, intrinsic value theory, metaphysics, and practical implications-have been carefully planned to give both an in-depth analysis of the main issues in Callicott's work and a broad overview of its influence and importance. - Eric Katz, New Jersey Institute of Technology, coeditor of Beneath the Surface: Critical Essays in the Philosophy of Deep Ecology A major strength of the book is the fact that there are many contributors analyzing elements of Callicott's land ethics within the context of different philosophical contexts. This enables the readers to see both divergence and congruence of viewpoints. - John Lemons, coeditor of Ecological Sustainability and Integrity: Concepts and Approaches
