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?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on an exceptionally wide range of sources, from virtue ethics to Buddhism, leading environmental philosopher Simon P.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis accessible, entertainingly written book will be essential reading for students of the environment across the humanities and social sciences.
