This work is intended as a textbook for prompting class discussion of the application of environmental ethics theory. Philosopher Derr (Clark U.) and attorney McNamara (Vermont Public Service Board) present 43 case studies of a wide range of environmental (and related political) controversies. Each case briefly describes the factual situation, discusses a few of the ethical implications, and proposes questions for student reflection.
