Ethics of Environmental Concern

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgme.nts My thanksgo to Peter Singer for discussion of a paper related to this book, to Robert Young and Nigel Dower for bibliographical assistance, to Derek Parfit for encouragement, to Tom Regan and Mary Midgley for their comments on chapter 8, and to the Cardiff Philosophical Society, and particularly its student members, for comments on chapter 6. An enormous debt of gratitude is also due to Thomas McPherson for commenting on the first draft of the entire book, to Andrew Belsey for comments on some chapters of that draft and on the entire second draft, and also to the publishers' reader. Their advice and criticisms have proved invaluable; but,like the others here mentioned, they cannot be held responsible for the final text, and would each profoundly disagree with at least some of it. I am also grateful to the staff of the Library of UniversityCollege, Cardiff for their tireless help in locating much of the material referred to, to Jean Barber for typing the second draft of chapter 6, and particularly to my wife, Leela Dutt, for encouragement and for reading the entire first draft, as well as enduring the composition of the book at the same time as composing a novel herself.
