From the reviews:
"This is a collection of thirteen original essays about the environmental philosophy of Holmes Rolston, III, with a fourteenth chapter by Rolston in response. ... any new work that discusses his philosophy will be of interest to anyone connected to the subject. ... Any student of environmental philosophy will find the book a pleasure to read-a delightful immersion into the thought of Rolston. ... this volume is an excellent contribution to environmental philosophy, and should be read and discussed by everyone in the field." (Eric Katz, Environmental Ethics, Vol. 30, 2008)
"This volume of essays authored by luminaries and interesting new thinkers in the fields of applied and environmental ethics ... . Each essay is a rigorous, occasionally jargon-filled, engagement with Rolston's thinking. ... he perceived environmental ethics as a forum where voices from philosophy could converse with scientists, park rangers, organizers, and other non-philosophers. ... his most attentive audience, those who read and think about his work, is composed of philosophers and ethicists." (Christopher C. Robinson, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 21, 2008)
