Book excerpt: This short, accessible, and provocative work is a perfect invitation to the burgeoning field of environmental ethics. It motivates the basic questions, tells compelling stories, and offers a range of philosophical responses -- not as antagonists, but as complementary exploratory strategies -- central to this growing topic. The book is built around five individually authored chapters, each a unique contribution by a major author in the field. Responding to readers' actual questions and concerns, An Invitation to Environmental Philosophy offers a compelling and intriguing gateway into the field.
