Summary As anxiety about environmental change and its effects grows, we need to understand both the scientific processes and the ethical and aesthetic judgments involved in deciding which changes we should welcome and promote and which we should try to avoid. In this book the author examines the current debates on the environment, focusing on questions of value while also taking into account relevant issues in epistemology and metaphysics. (Midwest).
