Gaia Connections: An Introduction to Ecology, Ecoethics, and Economics

The author has assembled a collection of thought-provoking philosophical essays that examine economic, scientific and socio-political issues within the framework of the emerging discipline of deep ecology. The revised edition not only updates these data and the concerns of the original book but also visits a number of new issues: the movement for environmental justice, the connections between global poverty and the now almost universal allegiance to a new world market and free trade system, the progress and the dilemmas of molecular biology and genetic engineering, and the growing disarray within the global systems of political economy.
