Environmental Ethics for Canadians is a comprehensive introduction to the core ethical questions shaping contemporary environmental debates. A hybrid textbook and reader, this text combines classic essays with contemporary selections and case studies designed for students to fully engage with current issues in environmental ethics.
Williston's book is unique amongst environmental ethics textbooks in that it both is comprehensive in scope and explicitly addresses environmental issues - from theory to practice - that are of pressing concern to Canadians."
