Through lean and elegant text, readers will learn that human interconnections with other species and ecosystems are severely endangered precisely because we lack - by our evolutionary self-confidence - the very coherence that is everywhere around us abundantly demonstrated. What our species has deemed to be superior is, according to Tobias and Morrison, the cumulative result of a tragically tenuous argument predicated on the brink of our species? self-destruction, giving rise to a most unique proposition: We either recognize the miracle of other sentient intelligence, sophistication, and genius, or risk enshrining the shortest lived epitaph of any known vertebrate in earth?s 4.1 billion years of life. Tobias and Morrison draw on 45 years of research in fields ranging from ecological anthropology, animal protection and comparative ethics to literature and spirituality - and beyond. They deploy research in animal and plant behavior, biocultural heritage contexts from every continent and they bring to bear a deeply metaphysical array of perspectives that set this book apart from any other. The book departs from most work in such fields as animal rights, ecological aesthetics, comparative ethology or traditional animal and plant behaviorist work, and yet it speaks to readers with an interest in those fields. A deeply provocative book of philosophical premises and hypotheses from two of the world?s most influential ecological philosophers, this text is likely to stir uneasiness and debate for many decades to come. 606 $aNature 606 $aEcology 606 $aLife sciences 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aEnvironmental sciences?Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy of nature 606 $aPopular Science in Nature and Environment$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q16000 606 $aPopular Life Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q25000 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aSemiotics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N53000 606 $aEnvironmental Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U37000 606 $aPhilosophy of Nature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34040 615 0$aNature. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aLife sciences. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences?Philosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature. 615 14$aPopular Science in Nature and Environment. 615 24$aPopular Life Sciences. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aSemiotics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Philosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Nature. 676 $a500 700 $aTobias$b Michael Charles$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0871373 702 $aMorrison$b Jane Gray$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156310403321 996 $aAnthrozoology$92535638 997 $aUNINA
