Environmental Harm by Rob White

Challenging conventional definitions of environmental harm, this book considers the problem from an eco-justice perspective. Rob White identifies and analyzes three interconnected approaches to environmental harm: environmental justice (which focuses on harm to humans), ecological justice (which focuses on harm to the environment), and species justice (which focuses on harm to nonhuman animals). Examining the efforts of activists and social movements engaged in these causes, White describes the tensions between the three approaches and calls for a new eco-justice framework that will allow for the reconciliation of these differences.
