Religion and Ecological Crisis

This book considers the impact of White's arguments in his seminal article, The Historical Roots of Our Ecologic Crisis. It offers constructive criticism as well as reflections on the ongoing, ever-changing scholarly debate about the way religion and culture contribute to both environmental crises and to their possible solutions.
