A New Environmental Ethics<br />
The Next Millennium for Life on Earth<br />
Holmes Rolston III, Colorado State University, <strong>US</strong>A<br />
A New Environmental Ethics: The Next Millennium for Life on Earth offers clear,<br />
powerful, <strong>and</strong> oftentimes moving thoughts from one of the first <strong>and</strong> most respected<br />
philosophers to write on the environment. Rolston, an early <strong>and</strong> leading pioneer in<br />
studying the moral relationship between humans <strong>and</strong> the earth, surveys the full<br />
spectrum of approaches in the field of environmental ethics. This book, however, is<br />
not simply a judicious overview. Instead, it offers critical assessments of contemporary<br />
academic accounts <strong>and</strong> draws on a lifetime of research <strong>and</strong> experience to suggest an<br />
outlook for the future. As a result, this focused, forward-looking analysis will be a<br />
necessary complement to any balanced textbook or anthology in environmental<br />
ethics, <strong>and</strong> will teach its readers to be responsible global citizens, <strong>and</strong> residents of<br />
their l<strong>and</strong>scape, helping ensure that the future we have will be the one we wish for.<br />

POLITICAL THEORY<br />
Essays on Neuroscience <strong>and</strong> Political Theory<br />
Thinking the Body Politic<br />
edited by F. V<strong>and</strong>er Valk, Empire State College, <strong>US</strong>A<br />
This book is the first to facilitate further interdisciplinary<br />
conversation regarding the relationship between<br />
neuroscience <strong>and</strong> political theory. The book has three main<br />
aims:<br />
• It clearly identifies some of the main conceptual challenges<br />
to the responsible integration of neuroscience <strong>and</strong> political<br />
theory.<br />
• It provides examples of the types of general insights that<br />
neuroscience is able to offer political theorists <strong>and</strong><br />
neuroscientists who study political <strong>and</strong> social phenomena<br />
including the role of habit in political life <strong>and</strong> the<br />
relationship between emotion <strong>and</strong> political deliberation.<br />
• It addresses specific political issues in light of neuroscientific research findings.<br />
The book is truly interdisciplinary <strong>and</strong> features contributions from scholars in<br />
philosophy, intellectual history, neuroscience, <strong>and</strong> gender studies, essential reading<br />
for all those with an interest in the cutting edge of political theory.<br />

Series: <strong>Routledge</strong> Studies in Comparative Political Thought<br />
This edited book introduces students <strong>and</strong> scholars to Comparative Political Thought.<br />

the following issues:<br />

• Political thought in China, India, the Middle East <strong>and</strong> Latin America<br />
• Islamic political thought<br />
• Political thought in the wake of post-colonialism.<br />
This is a much-needed overview of this key emerging area <strong>and</strong> will be of interest to<br />
all students of political theory, thought <strong>and</strong> philosophy.<br />
