Dedication

This book is dedicated to my family, especially my parents, grandparents and extended family who most shaped my own environmental values, and my wife and kids, who most influence them today; to Dr. Richard Baer, my dissertation advisor at Cornell University, whose pioneering thought about religion, ethics and the environment have had an enduring impact on my life and work; and to my students, who teach me most of all, and who keep my passion for this topic alive and growing.
