Environmental Responsibility Reader now out!!


This reader, edited by Martin Reynolds, me and Mark J Smith, has now been printed. Zed books is the publisher. Here's the link. Great to see it after a lot of hard work. Here's what reviewers said about it:

'This collection brings together in one place key texts of leading thinkers in environmental ethics. No one who takes environmental responsibility seriously will want to be without this book.'
- Ruth Chadwick, Director, ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (Cesagen) Cardiff University
'In these tumultuous times, I shall keep this rich mix of classic texts close at hand. They combine inspiration, ethics and pragmatic reflection on why we have reached the crisis we face today and tomorrow. This kind of deep thinking will be key to whether we can shift to become global citizens with an eye to the future.'
- Dr Camilla Toulmin, Director, International Institute for Environment and Development
'A welcome and timely reminder that we need to take up our environmental responsibilities now following the inspiring guidance provided by this excellent collection.'
- Wendy Harcourt, Editor of 'Development' and the forthcoming Zed Book Series on 'Gender and Environment'
'The environmental challenges of the 21st Century are the most complex, difficultand dangerous that humanity has ever faced. Perplexity is a common human response to complexity. Inaction is what follows from perplexity. The readings brought together into this volume provide hugely valuable insights into how best we could navigate this landscape of environmental risks and opportunities more successfully.’
- Tom Burke, founding director of E3G
