Botzler is Professor Emeritus of Wildlife, Humboldt State University, in California, where he taught courses in wildlife diseases, environmental ethics, and general wildlife. He was HSU’s outstanding professor in 1991, and California State University outstanding professor in 1992. His publications include topics in wildlife diseases and, with Susan J. Armstrong, Environmental Ethics: Divergence and Convergence.
We are very fortunate to have this anthology in its 3rd edition available for classroom use. The essays cover a wide range of topics that make it easy for teachers to devote a whole course (or a part of a course) to the topic of animal ethics. The selections are judicious and the introductions insightful. I especially like the blend of theoretical and practical concerns, a blend that makes perfect sense from a pedagogical point of view.
