Reviews'This book is vintage Plumwood: clear, insightful, well-argued, compelling. Through stunning argumentation and vivid examples, Val Plumwood shows that the current ecological crisis is fundamentally a failure of Western conceptions and cultures of reason, and that what is needed is an ecological rationality strongly linked to social equality, communicative democracy, and nature-sensitive practices. Anyone interested in environmental, feminist, or political philosophy will want to read this book.' - Karen Warren, Macalester College, Minnesota, USA

Using a range of examples, Plumwood presents a radically new picture of how our culture must change to accommodate nature., A much-needed account of what has gone wrong in our thinking about the environment. Val Plumwood argues that we need to see nature as an end itself, rather than an instrument to get what we want.
