This text presents an broad range of essays which encompass recent contributions to the study of the cosmic sized problems which confront our species. This comprehensive collection traces the connections between moral principles, economic assumptions, biological considerations, and disputes over environmental policy. It seeks to extract for critical attention the relevant moral or normative presuppositions which lie behind policy recommendations, whether made by biologists, ecologists, economists, philosophers, engineers or any concerned with policy decisions.
