'This long awaited work is an updated and thoroughly revised
translation of Okologi, Samfunn og Livsstil in Norwegian. Naess is
the acknowledged founder of 'deep ecology' and a respected
authority in semantics, the philosophy of science and the thinking
of Spinoza and Ghandi. This book is both a philosophical primer and
a handbook on strategy and tactics for thoughtful
environmentalists.' Trends in Ecology and Evolution
'I would add Naess' book to that very short list of works in
environmental philosophy that speak to us from the depths of a life
well and thoughtfully lived, a life which has engendered wisdom and
with it care, responsiveness, and a sense of responsibility to the
earth.' Jim Cheney
'… this book is understandable even for the uninitiated, and
practical for anyone wanting to reduce their adverse impacts on the
Earth.' John Davis, Earth First! Journal
