3.0 out of 5 stars Very good but way overpriced, Mar 6 2011

By Joel Wilcox - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Watersheds 4: Ten Cases in Environmental Ethics (Paperback)

I looked at this book closely as a possible supplemental volume for an Environmental Ethics course I teach. The cases are very well done: Each one has a succinct introduction, presentation of facts, discussion in relation to EE principles or theories, and useful "questions for reflection." The cases would mesh very nicely with any standard EE anthology, and would generate a lot of discussion. I was about to order it, but then checked the price. Since it is way out of line for a book of essentially 200 pages, and since there are websites with useful, free cases, I have to recommend not buying the book unless cost does not matter.

3.0 out of 5 stars ****************************, Sep 2 2007

By Phoria - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Watersheds 4: Ten Cases in Environmental Ethics (Paperback)

This book is nice if you're looking for nice little vignettes on varied environmental subjects. But it is overtly biased politically, asides and analogies that have a left leaning are used throughout the text unnecessarily. Otherwise the information is pretty broad and it is not a bad little book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling cases, interesting reading, Sep 15 2007

By Christine Robbins "binkadinka" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Watersheds 4: Ten Cases in Environmental Ethics (Paperback)

This book discusses various ethical situations regarding environmental issues, which could be rather dry material. However, the author writes in a more down-to-earth style, which makes it more enjoyable. The topics are certainly thought-provoking, and made for many interesting discussions at the dinner table.
