Reviews
"This welcome collaboration between two key scholars of environmental culture explains why embracing complexity, pluralism, difficulty, and uncertainty leads to better, deeper responses to environmental troubles. In clear prose with wide intellectual reference, Bauman and O'Brien argue that "radical change is possible only at the pace of ambiguity." Willis Jenkins, Professor of Religious Studies & Environmental Humanities at the University of Virginia "Environmental Ethics and Uncertaintyis original, engaging, and important. It offers students and other readers an entry into some of the very complex and challenging moral and theoretical issues related to climate change in a way that is smart and well-grounded without being overly dry, dense, or inaccessible. It does so by focusing on exactly the themes we need to be discussing in regards to environmental ethics and climate change today: ambiguity, uncertainty, pluralism, and hope. The authors show how uncertainty is not only theoretically but also practically helpful, as they think through concrete ethical problems such as fracking and pipeline protests. Further, their use of eclectic sources and thinkers both shows the wide range of issues and ideas we need to address in thinking about climate change and invites conversation with readers outside the field." Anna Peterson, professor, department of religion, University of Florida "Environmental Ethics and Uncertaintyoffers a timely intervention in polarized debates surrounding issues like climate change or fracking, and who or what we should believe. Drawing on the wisdom of activists and thinkers ranging from Rachel Carson to Martin Luther King, Jr., the book underscores the value of questioning. Bauman and O'Brien show us that excessive certainty and willful ignorance--both prominent stances in modern American culture--fail to capture the complexity of knowledge and its relationship to moral action."

Synopsis
This book offers a multidisciplinary environmental approach to ethics in response to the contemporary challenge of climate change caused by globalized economics and consumption. This book synthesizes the incredible complexity of the problem and the necessity of action in response, highlighting the unambiguous problem facing humanity in the 21st century, but arguing that it is essential to develop an ethics housed in ambiguity in response. Environmental Ethics and Uncertainty is divided into theoretical and applied chapters, with the theoretical sections engaging in dialogue with scholars from a variety of disciplines, while the applied chapters offer insight from 20th century activists who demonstrate and/or illuminate the theory, including Martin Luther King, Rachel Carson, and Frank Lloyd Wright. This book is written for scholars and students in the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies and the environmental humanities, and will appeal to courses in religion, philosophy, ethics, politics, and social theory.

- 9***g (569)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaShipped quickly, over all packaging was done well, was as described except it didn't have the plug adapter. Contacted seller and was told I received everything in the photo, this was true... But I didn't know it needed a adapter so how would I know it wasn't included. Could have put that info in description! So Value was a bit lacking! (seller was also a bit harsh in his replies)1Mii B03 Bluetooth Transmitter Receiver In Black For TV Home Stereo Headphone* (#296909307150)
- s***0 (318)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaNot quite sure how to put this. SELLER IS HONEST! But this poor old Bible decided to come apart at the seams just at the moment of packing it up! Seller immediately messaged, refunded and apologized almost in the same breath - but I really don't need the apology as the message/refund were enough for me. I understand 60-year old books do weird things sometimes and description even said it was on the rough side and price reflected that. So even though this oopsie happened I'd use seller again!Vintage The Jerusalem Bible 1966 Special Edition Hardcover Book By Doubleday (#296989460333)
- m***m (3)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe LEGO was in pretty much the exact condition as shown and even arrived early, wrapped in bubble wrap! All the pieces are of good quality, and everything looks great. My only concern is that 2/3 minifigures did not come with their jetpacks, but the seller said that it was an accident. Other than that, it was a great purchase, and I would recommend this seller to others 👍.
