| adam_text | We humans value a great variety
of plant and animal species for
their usefulness to us. But what is
the value—if any—of a species that
offers no practical use?
In the face of accelerating extinctions
across the globe, what ought we to
do? Amid this sea of losses, what is
our responsibility? How do we assess
the value of nonhuman species? In this
clear-spoken, passionate book, natural¬
ist and philosopher Edward
L
McCord
explores urgent questions about the
destruction of species and provides a
new framework for appreciating and
defending every form of life.
The book draws insights from philoso¬
phy, ethics, law, and biology to arrive
at a new way of thinking about the
value of each species on earth. With
meticulous reasoning, McCord dem¬
onstrates that the inherent value of
species to humanity is intellectual:
individual species are phenomena of
such intellectual moment—so interest¬
ing in their own right—that they rise
above other values and merit enduring
human embrace. The author discusses
the threats other species confront and
delineates the challenges involved in
creating any kind of public instrument
to protect species. No other scholar
has advocated on behalf of biodiversity
with such eloquence and passion, and
none provides greater inspiration to
defend nonhuman forms of life.
Edward L. McCord is director of
programming and special projects,
University Honors College, University
of Pittsburgh. He also is director of the
university s Yellowstone Field Course
and the Allen L. Cook Spring Creek
Preserve near Laramie, Wyoming.
