Ecocritical Theory: New European Approaches (Under the Sign of Nature)
Contents:
I would not hesitate to teach many of the essays in an undergraduate class in environmental studies or even as part of a general introduction to Continental thought.

The volume is appropriately classified as literary criticism, not philosophy. The introduction is evidently addressed to specialists in ecocriticism: Unfortunately, a non- specialist in ecocriticism — including an environmental philosopher — will find even the first paragraph of the introduction challenging to decipher. The editors add to the challenge by casting the volume as an answer to an objection they do not fully present before they refute it. Moreover, the editors then introduce ambiguities with respect to what the charge could reasonably mean.
This can be a good rhetorical tool if your readers do already understand the objection; it is not effective if the readers are not yet impressed with what is at stake. The rest of the introduction straightforwardly introduces readers to the essays in the collection, none of which presuppose any special expertise.
In some cases it makes sense to present oneself as laying groundwork e. Overall I was persuaded that there are a variety of ways in which the work of philosophers and other thinkers could be applied to the work of ecocriticism but not that there is a rich body of work in which they have been applied. The piece briefly mentions the familiar charge that women are often associated with the natural world; overall, however, the essay is not obviously a piece of environmental philosophy or ecocriticism. If the essay were not collected here, I would have described it as an article on gender and individuation more generally.
Its availability in translation should be valuable for anyone interested in the relationships between gender, nature, and social identity.

The introductory character of the essays is also their strength. I would not hesitate, as mentioned above, to assign many of them in an advanced undergraduate class, and I would recommend them as a general introduction to environmental thinking for an academic working in another discipline.
Ecocritical Theory puts such claims decisively to rest by offering readers a comprehensive collection New European Approaches Under the Sign of Nature. www.farmersmarketmusic.com: Ecocritical Theory: New European Approaches (Under the Sign of Nature) (): Axel Goodbody, Kate Rigby: Books.
An environmental philosopher will likely find the essays on thinkers with which she is less familiar more valuable than those nearer her area of specialization.
