Environmental Ethics: A Very Short Introduction
Environmental Ethics: A Very Short Introduction, was published by Oxford University Press in December 2018. Very popular among students and the general public, this is a succinct, illustrated and reader-friendly introductory book, on sale at £7.99.
Wonder, Value and God
Previously, Robin has written Wonder, Value and God, which was published by Routledge in 2017. This book bestrides environmental ethics, philosophy of religion and theories of creativity. Its cover has an amazing picture of the Grand Canyon; Leela and I have been there but sadly we probably didn't take this photo.
