Reviews / Votes
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." * Ingrid Leman Stefanovic, University of Toronto* What I like about Environmental Ethics for Canadians is that it covers all the standard material that is covered in most other texts, but also includes some chapters that are novel and unexpected. I especially appreciated the chapters on aesthetics, sustainability, First Nations perspectives and pragmatism." * Stephen F. Haller, Wilfrid Laurier University, Brantford Campus
