Reviews

This book contains admirable examples of applied philosophy with solid conceptual analysis of critical social and legal issues... The articles are accessible to an educated layman [and]...suitable for use in upper level undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental philosophy, law, political theory, and --to a lesser degree--economics and history. Select essays can be read profitably by those with interests in environmental policy making, consulting, interpretation, and enforcement. --Environmental History Review The essays in Donald Scherer's Upstream/Downstream offer serious readers more to get their teeth into... [Scherer] deserves congratulation for welding his authors' pieces into a stimulating and satisfying whole...written in accessible, reasonably non-technical language. --Environmental Values
