The Place of Joy in a World of Fact

Abstract

1st ed. Cover title: Deep ecology for the 21st century. "Instead of thinking of nature as a resource to be used for human needs, deep ecology argues that the true value of nature is intrinsic and independent of its utility. ... [This comprehensive and wide-ranging anthology] contains thirty-nine articles by the leading writers and thinkers in the field, offering a comprehensive array of perspectives on this new approach to environmentalism."--Back cover. pt. 1.
