A Superb Collection November 18, 2000
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I want to applaud the editors of this volume for including a diverse set of viewpoints. A few other works of this type merely include the "typical" pieces of authors such as Thoreau. While these authors are included in A Forest of Voices, other not so well-known authors are found as well. Some of these authors argue the politically correct approach to environmentalism common in our society today. Others do not, thus providing an important balance of views. While I cannot say I agree with the authors in many of the pieces, I applaud the collection of works. As its apt subtitle suggests, A Forest of Voices does provoke stimulating Conversations in Ecology.
