Case Studies in Environmental Ethics is a collection of more than 40 case studies covering diverse topics such as: genetic engineering, aesthetics, pollution, animal rights, population, and resource management. It is intended as a supplemental book for college courses primarily in Environmental Ethics.

The cases are concise yet rich in detail and controversy to provide significant classroom discussion.

Editorial Reviews
Review
A terrific collection. The political or ideological balance in each of these case studies is impressive. (Sagoff, Mark )
Truly exemplary work. I have no doubt that this book would greatly benefit undergraduate environmental ethics courses. (Schuklenk, Udo )
The accessible presentation and the range of issues make this a good choice for interdisciplinary classes in environmental studies and policy as well as classes in environmental ethics and philosophy. (Environment )
Up-to-date and well-grounded. It's reasonable in length, clearly written with very usable questions for classroom use. (Susan Armstrong )
