*PRE-ORDER, APPROX 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS* Environmental Ethics for Canadians 3rd Edition by Byron Williston 9780190165925 [ZZ]

Paperback, Oxford

The climate emergency is the greatest threat facing humanity. Almost every discipline and future career path - from business to technology, engineering, and politics - will force students to confront ethical concerns as they relate to the environment, natural resources, and sustainable growth. Written in a consistent, readable voice, Byron Williston's Environmental Ethics for Canadians demystifies the main thinkers and questions central to environmental ethics, without overwhelming students with detail or philosophy-specific jargon, showcasing the complex philosophical and ethical questions that arise as we interact with the natural world and work to stem climate change in an accessible way. A hybrid textbook and reader, combining classic essays by leaders in environmental philosophy with contemporary selections by emerging voices in the field - including original pieces commissioned expressly for this volume - this text provides students with the foundational concepts and new perspectives they need to truly understand our changing relationship to the environment. While instructors often find it difficult to animate environmental ethics and demonstrate its career relevance to their students, many of whom are non-philosophy majors, this edition's new feature boxes help illustrate the way philosophical thought and ideas have been utilized in the world and in Canada to create change, showing students the practicality of learning these ideas for their future careers. Incorporating Indigenous perspectives throughout, including a full chapter devoted to Indigenous ways of knowing, as well as expanded content on the Anthropocene, biodiversity loss, and climate change, this volume brings philosophical debate to today's greatest opportunities and challenges. Global in outlook, but Canadian in focus, this ground-up Canadian text provides students examples and case studies from their own backyard to engage them and propel their thinking outward.
