Book Description:
|
Environmental sustainability and social justice are both widely regarded as desirable social objectives. But can we assume that they are compatible with each other? Professor Dobson's powerful new study explores the relationship between these two objectives and concludes that radical environmental demands are only incompletely served by couching them in terms of justice.
