Abstract
Shrader-Frechette has anthologized 25 selections, chosen to be good beginner's pieces. Often there are opposing articles, and the authors come from diverse fields. The selections are provocative, organized around the right themes, and easily readable. There is careful attention to the mixture of scientific and technological matters with ethical and philosophical judgments. As an introductory text in environmental ethics, this is one of the best now available.
