Zusatztext 'This book raises a number of important questions for anyone involved in debate of human-induced environmental change. It serves both as a kind of expose of the restoration proposal, and as an introduction to a broader discussion of what it is that people value in various kinds of landscapes.' - The Journal of Value Inquiry Informationen zum Autor Robert Elliot is Professor of Philosophy and Dean of Arts at Sunshine Coast University College, Queensland, Australia. He has published extensively in the area of environmental ethics and in applied ethics generally. Klappentext Robert Elliot offers a provocative insight into the ethical problems of environmental strategy. He explores the arguments surrounding the concept of ecological restoration and develops the groundwork laid by his highly acclaimed 1982 article, "Faking Nature." Ecological restoration is a crucial process in the modern world and is central to companies' environmental policy. Elliot considers whether areas restored after ecological destruction are less valuable than before the damage took place. "Faking Nature" observes the pros and cons of the argument and examines the role of humans in the natural world. This book is a timely analysis of the simultaneous destruction and restoration of the natural world and the ethics related to those processes, in an era of accelerated environmental damage and repair. Zusammenfassung Faking Nature explores the arguments surrounding the concept of ecological restoration.
