Rezensionen

It does a real service by showing that the diverse envrionmental design professions have more similarities than differences when it comes to ethical reasoning. Environmental Ethics, Winter 2009 Over the last decades, many books have been published in the field of environmental ethics. Far too few link ethics to practical strategies for environmental decision making. Finally, here is a book that makes a real difference: this important volume breaks new ground by moving beyond abstract theorizing and focusing instead on how to actually make environmental decisions in a responsible manner. -- Ingrid Leman Stefanovic, Centre for Environment, University of Toronto
