Eco-Justice - Chet Bowers

This is the first Theory and Practice from Eco-Justice Press. We present to you a wide range of topics relating to eco-justice*, by authors from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. We are pleased to give the authors a new venue to present their thoughts and we appreciate their contributions. Also, we thank Chet Bowers for writing the After-word. 

The idea for this book arose because it seemed a ‘where are we now’ perspective on how eco-justice principles are being thought about and practiced seemed useful—we hope you agree. This ongoing discussion will hopefully benefit all.
