FIFTY KEY THINKERS

ON THE ENVIRONMENT

Fifty Key Thinkers on the Environment is a unique guide to environmental

thinking through the ages. Joy A.Palmer, herself an important and prolific

author on environmental matters, has assembled a team of thirty-five expert

contributors to summarize and analyse the thinking of fifty diverse and

stimulating figures—from all over the world and from ancient times to

the present day. Among those included are:

• philosophers such as Rousseau, Spinoza and Heidegger

• activists such as Chico Mendes

• literary giants such as Virgil, Goethe and Wordsworth

• major religious and spiritual figures such as Buddha and St Francis

of Assissi

Lucid, scholarly and informative, these fifty essays offer a fascinating

overview of mankind’s view and understanding of the physical world.

Joy A.Palmer is Professor of Education and Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the

University of Durham. She is Director of the Centre for Research on

Environmental Thinking and Awareness at the University of Durham, Vice-

President of the National Association for Environmental Education, and

a member of the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication.

She is the author and editor of numerous books and articles on

environmental issues and environmental education.

Advisory Editors: David E.Cooper, University of Durham, and Peter

Blaze Corcoran, Florida Gulf Coast University.
