Environmental sustainability and social justice are both widely regarded as desirable social objectives. Professor Dobson's powerful new study explores the relationship between these two objectives and concludes that radical environmental demands are only incompletely served by couching them in terms of justice.

Review
`Justice and the Environment is invaluable both in clarifying the notoriously ambiguous concept of sustainability and in setting the parameters for future debate on this issue... essential reading not only for ethicists and political theorists but also for ecologists, environmentalists, social justice activists, policy makers, and citizens.' Peter F. Cannavo, Environment Vol.42 No.3
