The Rights of Nature by Roderick Nash
Charting the history of contemporary philosophical and religious beliefs regarding nature, Roderick Nash focuses primarily on changing attitudes toward nature in the United States. His work is the first comprehensive history of the concept that nature has rights and that American liberalism has, in effect, been extended to the nonhuman world.
A splendid bookRoderick Nash has written another classic. This exploration of a new dimension in environmental ethics is both illuminating and overdue."
