Reviews
'Sandler addresses problems intuitively familiar to us - what species are and why we value them - in an intellectually rigorous and engaging manner ... For the philosophically inclined, The Ethics of Species provides a readable and comprehensive perspective on current ethical analysis of species, transgenics, and conservation biology.' P. William Hughes, Science
'The rich analysis Sandler offers in The Ethics of Species provides a strong foundation to the philosopher interested in the normative standing of biological species.' Environmental Values
