Lucid and trenchant essays on the philosophy of nature, arguing for an attitude of respect rather than domination of the environment. We have, according to Leiss (communications, Simon Fraser U.), no obligation to accept the imposition of new technologies; but, even if we do accept technological innovation, we retain the right and duty to shape the applications and results according to our vision of the good society.
