    Eigingildi í náttúrunni -- heimspeki á villigötum?
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2005) Arnason, Thorvardur, author; University of Iceland, publisher
    Ethics has been constantly becoming more inclusive, and that ought to encompass the larger community of life on Earth. Values are present in living organisms, independently of humans. Iceland has more opportunity for protecting a larger proportion of its landscape as wild nature than does the United States, or other more temperate nations. Rolston finds the Iceland environment challenging, in some ways recalling the challenges he faced in Antarctica. Hugur is an annual, the only Icelandic periodical that is solely dedicated to philosophy.

    Entrevista: Dr. Holmes Rolston III
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2004) Griffith, James, author; Universidade Federal de Viçosa, publisher
    An interview of Rolston in the extension journal of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Brazil. Rolston recalls visits to Brazil, first for the 1992 UNCED Conference in Rio de Janeiro and the second in 2000 for the II Brazilian National Conference on Protected Areas, in Campo Grande. Concern for a sustainable biosphere has more priority than sustainable development. Living on Earth is not just looking out for ourselves, but ought also to show concern for the larger community of life on Earth, so marvelously exemplified in Brazil.

The Three 'Environments' Principle: Urban, Rural and Wilderness (or, the Nature-Culture Principle).

    Holmes Rolston, III - CSU history
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2007) Hansen, James E., 1938-, author; Colorado State University, publisher
    Rolston has been important in Colorado State University's strategic planning for enhanced student learning. He was the first University Distinguished Professor to be named outside the natural sciences. He has a scholarly reputation comparable to CSU's most successful researchers and is as knowledgeable about science generally as are most such specialists. Rolston's classes have been characterized both by rigorous standards and by a welcoming atmosphere conducive to the thoughtful exchange of ideas.

    Interview with a true green giant
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2009) Crumm, David, author; David Crumm Media, publisher
    Rolston is a true "green giant," urging the kinds of experience people all need to share, if humans are to survive as a species. He is working to knit together a rather unlikely community of secular scientists, nature lovers, public policy experts, and people of faith. Rolston claims to do his best teaching by sneaking up on people and inviting them to get in a whole lot deeper than they previously thought possible. He is something of a mixture of Charles Darwin, the Dalai Llama, Al Gore, and Billy Graham.

    Natural thinker
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 1997) Lipsher, Steve, author; Denver Post, publisher
    Thirty years after he laid the foundation for environmental ethics, Holmes Rolston continues to wrestle with one of the West's most contentious issues, bridging the human and the natural world. So revolutionary has Rolston's work been that this spring he won an invitation to Scotland to present the prestigious Gifford Lectures, an 110-year old lecture series that has featured some of the world's most creative and influential philosophers and scholars.

    Rolston III, Holmes (1932-) (Posas)
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2005) Posas, Paula J., author; Thoemmes Continuum Publishers, publisher
    Rolston is widely recognized as the "father of environmental ethics," his writings making clear an ethics of nature, with intrinsic, instrumental, and systemic value. Ethics are for people but not only about people. Humans ought not always to put themselves first, but to put themselves in place in the biospheric community in which they reside. Only then will they become Homo sapiens, the "wise species."

    Rolston, Holmes (Britannica)
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2004) Turner, Darrell J., author; Encyclopedia Britannica, publisher
    The "father of environmental ethics" has spent his life in what he calls a lover's quarrel with science and religion. "I had to fight both theology and science to love nature," Rolston said when he was named the recipient of the 2003 Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities. Rolston published the first article in a major philosophical journal to challenge the idea that nature is value-free and that all values stem from a human perspective.

Rolston has a remarkable capacity to make magnificently informed connections across the scientific data.
