Description
Engaging Voices would stand as a useful text even without the current climate of political stubbornness. For students, it provides an accessible introduction to a broad range of issues and ideas in the field of environmental ethics... for those already more familiar with these ideas, it provides a reminder that gaining wisdom does not imply deducing the ''right'' answers to sticky questions, but rather approaching those questions with humility and openness. -- Richard Plate -- Capitalism Nature Socialism Gottlieb (A Greener Faith) carefully crafts morality tales that champion disparate yet constructive voices while still giving a platform to the myopic dissenters. While the characters' sole purpose is to facilitate these kinds of dialogues, the author's curious approach is a refreshing way to 'engage' in these debates. -- Publishers Weekly, Current Fiction Reviews
