Author Description

"This highly acclaimed introduction to green political thought is now available in a new edition, having been fully revised and updated to take into account the areas which have grown in importance since the third edition was published." "The author describes and assesses the political ideology of 'ecologism', and compares this radical view of remedies for the environmental crisis with the 'environmentalism' of mainstream politics. Dobson examines the philosophical basis of ecological thinking, the potential shape of a sustainable society and the means at hand for achieving it. The relationship between ecologism and other political ideologies is also discussed."--BOOK JACKET.
