Résumé:

"Instead of thinking of nature as a resource to be used for human needs, deep ecology argues that the true value of nature is intrinsic and independent of its utility. ... [This comprehensive and wide-ranging anthology] contains thirty-nine articles by the leading writers and thinkers in the field, offering a comprehensive array of perspectives on this new approach to environmentalism."--Back cover.
