商品簡介
Outlines philosophical perspectives on the rapidly growing but controversial practice of environmental restoration, covering arguments for and against restoration, their underlying values, and ways restoration goals might be achieved. The central problems of restoration practice are whether damaged natural places can actually be restored by human endeavor, and the possibility that restoration is merely another example of humankind's domination of nature. No index. Contributors are primarily philosophers, writers, and environmental workers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
