Ilustration During Books Deep Ecology for the Twenty-First Century

Every day, in newspapers and on television, we read and hear about the ongoing destruction of the environment: the greenhouse effect, ozone layer depletion, deforestation, and air and water pollution. Deep Ecology offers a solution to the environmental crisis through a radical shift in human consciousness--a fundamental change in the way people relate with the environment. Instead of thinking of nature as a resource to be used for human needs, Deep Ecology argues that the true value of nature is intrinsic and independent of its utility. Emerging in the 1980s as an influential philosophical, social, and political movement, Deep Ecology has shaped the environmental debate among leading activists and policymakers--from former Vice-President Al Gore to Dave Forman, cofounder of Earth First!

Deep Ecology for the Twenty-First Century contains thirty-nine articles by the leading writers and thinkers in the filed, offering a comprehensive array of perspectives on this new approach to environmentalism, exploring:

- The basic philosophy of Deep Ecology.
- Its roots in the writings of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir and Rachel Carson.
- The relationship of Deep Ecology to social ecology, ecofeminism, the Greens, and New Age futurism.
- How Deep Ecology as a way of life is exemplified by two important environmentalists: poet Gary Snyder and Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess.
- The philosophical dimensions of this environmental movement by its leading theorist.
- The politics of ecological sustainability and the social and political implications of Deep Ecology for the next century.

Rate Of Books Deep Ecology for the Twenty-First Century

A good introduction to the deep ecology movement. George sessions lays a lot of foundation for the green revolution and the dark ecology movement rising from its ashes.

This is a good collections of articles on deep ecology. I can't say that I agree hands down with everything written in here but I generally agree with the concepts and viewpoints. It is a good introduction to the philosophy of deep ecology for anyone interested.

Early views in the movement to preserve the earth. Some is a bit pedantic, but it's an early attempt to bring the issues of the environment into view.

Deep Ecology for the Twenty-First Century contained thoughtful essays related to the deep ecology movement. Some pieces were too wordy or theoretical and I admit I did do some skimming. Jerry Mander's essay Leaving the Earth: Space Colonies, Disney and EPCOT left the greatest impression on me as it was both entertaining and scary.

The most complete collections of articles on Deep Ecology so far, i have been looking for reading materials about this topic for over a year and I can say this from my desperate search for a good reference. Even though the book is quite old now, it is amazing how all the articles are still very relevant now. It gives you different aspects of Deep Ecology and even tackles criticism of the topic. A very well-made book for anyone who is seriously interested in Deep Ecology or Ecocentrism. Highly

This book is dated, being about the beginning of the environmental movement and then through its publication date in 1995. Many things have changed, some haven't, but it's well worth keeping around and picking up from time to time. It's a history book. One can read of just what is Deep Ecology and its political platform, which I agree with (mostly). The book presents different views, but has a definite agenda. This book dissects philosophy and philosophers of all persuasion, in a readable and

Could not get through all of this. The authors have compelling thoughts such as the "Original Trauma." Greatly backs up the work of Richard Louv's book 'Last Child in the Woods." However, this book is too dry for my taste. Not a page turner in any regards.
