“Fifty Key Thinkers on the Environment” is a unique guide to environmental thinking through the ages. 

Joy A. Palmer, herself an important and prolific author on environmental matters, has assembled a team of thirty-five expert contributors to summarize and analyze the thinking of fifty diverse and stimulating figures – from all over the world and from ancient times to the present day. 

Among those included are philosophers such as Rousseau, Spinoza and Heidegger, activists such as Chico Mendes, literary giants such as Virgil, Goethe and Wordsworth, and major religious and spiritual figures such as Buddha and St. Francis of Assisi.

Lucid, scholarly and informative, these fifty essays offer a fascinating overview of mankind’s view and understanding of the physical world.
