"... a number of papers developed for use in K. Sayre's course in
environmental philosophy. These papers were organized in book form in
2003, which was revised in 2005 and is undergoing more complete
revision for anticipated use in 2007. Revised chapters will be added
to this site upon completion. The tentative title of the book is:
UNEARTHED: The Economic Roots of our Environmental Crisis."
At the webpage, many (not yet all) of these chapters are available to
read online.
Excellent.
