Editorial Reviews

Twelve contributions address such questions as what would constitute an equitable distribution of environmental costs and benefits; whether future generations should be taken into account in decisions about the use and distribution of natural resources; whether there are some non- human natural beings who should be considered not just as resources, but as beings who are entitled to just treatment; and which policies are most appropriate and effective for implementing social and environmental justice.
