In this Book

summary
David Rothenberg shows us in this brief and enjoyable book that Naess's thought and influence range far beyond ecological philosophy. Naess's contributions to our understanding of the roots and resolution of the environment crisis are of primary interest here. Environmental Politics "Is It Painful to Think? is an important contribution to the deep ecological literature, appropriate for specialists as well as readers seeking an introduction. The book offers something to readers who identify themselves as deep ecologists, to those interested in the roots of deep ecology, and to those seeking an introduction to deep ecology." Environmental History Review "Recommended." The Reader's Review "Watching a good mind at work is a privilege. Watching a good mind at play is a joy. Is It Painful to Think? shows both sides of Arne Naess, a philosopher who is making a real difference in the planet's course." Bill McKibben
