Biography
Richard Evanoff teaches International Communication and Environmental Ethics at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan. He holds a Ph.D. from the Institute for Environment, Philosophy, and Public Policy at Lancaster University in the UK.
"Evanoff ’s extensive coverage of the philosophical, economic, sociological, and anthropological aspects of the debates on environmental ethics provides a helpful update or introduction for readers whose studies are normally more focused on literary concerns. With its clearly defined chapter topics and logical development, the book is also a valuable teaching resource." – Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environmental Studies, Bruce Allen, Seisen University, Japan
