About this book
Laura Westra argues that international and environmental law must place the rights of the collective before those of the individual if we are to protect our common heritage -- the environment, its air, water, and biodiversity -- and ensure humanity’s survival.

Reviews
William E. Rees, School of Community and Regional Planning, University of British Columbia:
This book raises critical issues that have largely been ignored or deliberately repressed in mainstream debates concerning the dynamics of global ecological and geopolitical change.
Prue Taylor, School of Architecture and Planning, University of Auckland:
A key feature of this book is that it deals with both moral and legal arguments. It also draws on Greek philosophy. This reflects the author’s strength as a scholar of both philosophy and law. There are few authors in the environmental and international law fields that can bring this breadth of material and thought to bear on such a critical subject.
