520    "Climate change, habitat loss, rising extinction rates - 
       such problems call for more than just new policies and 
       practices. They raise fundamental questions about the 
       world and our place in it. What, for instance, is the 
       natural world? Do we humans belong to it? Which parts of 
       it are we morally obliged to protect? Drawing on an 
       exceptionally wide range of sources, from virtue ethics to
       Buddhism, leading environmental philosopher Simon P. James
       sets out to answer these vitally important questions. The 
       book begins with a discussion of animal minds, before 
       moving on to explore our moral relations with non-human 
       organisms, ecosystems and the earth as a whole. James then
       considers environmental aesthetics, humanity's place in 
       the natural world and the question of what it means to be 
       wild. In the concluding chapter, he applies his findings 
       to the topic of global climate change, building a strong 
       moral case for urgent action. This accessible, 
       entertainingly written book will be essential reading for 
       students of the environment across the humanities and 
       social sciences. It will, moreover, be an ideal guide for 
       anyone keen to deepen their understanding of environmental
       issues."
