{"product_id":"9780080930756","title":"Philosophy of Ecology","description":"The most pressing problems facing humanity today — over-population, energy shortages, climate change, soil erosion, species extinctions, the risk of epidemic disease, the threat of warfare that could destroy all the hard-won gains of civilization, and even the recent fibrillations of the stock market — are all ecological or have a large ecological component. in this volume philosophers turn their attention to understanding the science of ecology and its huge implications for the human project.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eTo get the application of ecology to policy or other practical concerns right, humanity needs a clear and disinterested philosophical understanding of ecology which can help identify the practical lessons of science. Conversely, the urgent practical demands humanity faces today cannot help but direct scientific and philosophical investigation toward the basis of those ecological challenges that threaten human survival. This book will help to fuel the timely renaissance of interest in philosophy of ecology that is now occurring in the philosophical profession.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a bridge between philosophy and current scientific findings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers theory and applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages multi-disciplinary dialogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119219163376,"sku":"9780080930756","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080930756_p0.jpg?v=1763638039","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080930756","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
