Review Quotes: "Burke and Fishel have written the most thoroughgoing ecological revisioning of the social contract I have ever read. If only Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau and their ilk had started here!"

This landmark contribution to environmental political theory shows how to radically reimagine politics, democracy, and justice along multispecies and ecological lines."
