Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buddhism and Deep Ecology (Paperback)
This is an ok book on the subject, but scattered and somewhat self-indulgent. On the other hand, the author is a serious participant in this difficult world, so his opinion is worth weighing. There is so little on the subject that the references are also useful.
