"""At a time when unprecedented challenges confront our established political institutions and perspectives, new thinking of a deep and systematic type is urgently needed. I applaud this important collection of essays by some of the leading environmental political theory scholars for impressively addressing this need, examining some of the most vital political issues raised by climate change with originality, style and intelligence.""--Piers H.G. Stephens, Philosophy Department, University of Georgia ""This eclectic volume is a welcome introduction to the contributions of political theorists to debates over climate change. Since climate change is as much a challenge to our political institutions as to our science, I hope this volume will stimulate more work in this field.""--Dale Jamieson, Director of Environmental Studies, New York University -- Dale Jamieson ""As one contributor to this volume suggests, climate change presents us with a 'perfect moral storm'. I would add that this volume provides a perfect illustration of the illuminating power of political theory in relation to the biggest environmental challenge of our age.""--Robyn Eckersley, Professor, and Head of Political Science, University of Melbourne -- Robyn Eckersley ""As one contributor to this volume suggests, climate change presents us with a 'perfect moral storm'.
