ISEE Bibliography - General Information

This bibliography is an ongoing project of the International Society for Environmental Ethics. It contains all the bibliographic entries from the Newsletter of the society (1990 - 1999), all the articles and abstracts from the journal Environmental Ethics (1979 - 1999), all the articles and abstracts from the journal Environmental Values (1992 - 1999), all the articles from the Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics (1988 -1999), and the two Eric Katz bibliographies, see below. There are over 5,500 records.

Entries from the quarterly 2000 ISEE Newsletter will be incorporated into the database in February 2001; if you desire these recent entries earlier, see the Newsletter, also available at this site.

These entries come from various places. Those from the Newsletter of the International Society for Environmental Ethics have in parentheses at the end of the entry the volume and issue number from which they came. For example (v4,#2) comes from volume 4 (1993), issue no. 2 (spring). This information can be useful when a sometimes now dated comment is made in the entry.

Entries from Eric Katz's two bibliographies are here. These are:

Katz, Eric, Environmental Ethics: A Select Annotated Bibliography, 1983-1987. Research in Philosophy and Technology 9 (1989): 251-285.

Katz, Eric, Environmental Ethics: A Select Annotated Bibliography, II 1987-1990. Research in Philosophy and Technology 12 (1992): 287-324.

Entries from the two Katz bibliographies have a (Katz-Bib) at the end. We thank Eric Katz for making these two important bibliographies available in this database.

All of the articles and abstracts from the journal Environmental Ethics, volumes 1-18 (1979-1996) are included. These abstracts or listings have an (EE) at the end, and are ordinarily written by the authors themselves.

Book reviews are usually listed twice, once under the name of the author of the book, again under the name of the book reviewer.

All of the articles and abstracts from the journal Environmental Values, volumes 1-5 (1992-1996) are listed, usually with an (EV) at the end, and are ordinarily written by the authors themselves.

All of the articles and abstracts from the journal Ethics and the Environment, vol. 1 (1996) are listed, usually with an (E&E) at the end, and are ordinarily written by the authors themselves.

All of the articles and abstracts from the Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, volumes 1-9 (1988-1996) are listed, usually with a (JAEE) at the end.

Simply going to an author's name will locate the principal entries. However, you also may want to search for an author's name, and this will locate places where the author is not listed as the first author, or has an article listed in an anthology, entered elsewhere in another bibliographic reference under the editor(s) names. If your software searches only for a string of letters, you may need to search for "John Doe", for John Q. Doe, for "Doe, John," "Doe, J.D.", "J. D. Doe," and so forth, to find these entries. Such a search will also locate places in abstracts or titles where an author is mentioned or criticized by other authors.

There are no identified keywords as such in the bibliography (except in entries from Environmental Values, and from the Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics). However, you can search for words or phrases with any wordprocessing with a search feature. This will find such words in the title, abstract, or commentary. Certain words are obvious candidates for a search: "hunting," "biodiversity," "animal rights," "endangered species," "wilderness," "Amazon," "pollution," "ecofeminism," "deep ecology." Other topics do not so readily come to focus in single words or phrases.

Names beginning with de, von, van, and so forth are difficult to handle with computer alphabetizing. They are here rewritten with spaces removed or with hyphens (van Dyke becomes vanDyke), to avoid having the computer fragment the name. The author's preferred spelling is usually in parentheses later.

The Newsletter of the International Society for Environmental Ethics contains from time to time bibliographies for particular nations. Examples: Norway, Finland, Israel, China, Africa. These entries have been tagged at the end of each entry: (Norway), (Finland), (Israel), (China), (Africa), and so each of these entries can be searched out by searching, for example, for (Norway), and so forth.

Author identifications are those given at the time the book or article was written, and, needless to say, these may change. No effort is made to update these identifications. Look at later entries by the same author to see if institutional affiliations and addresses have changed. Author identifications are repeated with each entry, anticipating that users of this bibliography will be blocking out particular separate entries for transfer to their specialized needs and will want this identification.

There are some glitches and mistakes. Be patient, call these to our attention and we will gradually get them out.

On some occasions, an entry does not begin with an author's name, but with the name of a title, a group, a journal, or other atypical format. These are alphabetized in with the authors. Any initial "The" is moved to the end of the group, title, or other name. Titles beginning with numbers are put at the beginning of the alphabetical list.

Anthologies. A list of the leading anthologies in environmental ethics can be found under: Anthologies. Environmental Ethics

Systematic Works. A list of the leading systematic works in environmental ethics can be found under: Systematic Works, Environmental Ethics.

Introductory articles. A list of introductory articles in environmental ethics can be found under: Introductory articles, Environmental Ethics.

There are, of course, many important references not yet here. Some bibliographies that we sought would not be released for this use; others wanted fees that are prohibitive. This is not a commercial enterprise; it is a labor of concern and love. Additions are welcome and will be incorporated into the data base. Those that arrive on disk in WordPerfect 5.1 formatted as here will be given immediate attention; others will take longer. Keyboarding is time- consuming. Those that arrive on E-mail are essentially a DOS text and can be brought into WordPerfect rather easily.

Some of the main sources not yet systematically incorporated into this bibliography are:

The Trumpeter
Between the Species
Conservation Biology (occasional articles only)

This bibliography is also available, at quite modest cost, on 3 1/2 inch floppy disks in WordPerfect 5.1 DOS format. There are three disks: A-F, G-O, P-Z. This format can easily be translated into other wordprocessing formats, including Macintosh. Underlined titles and diacritical marks, which are not possible to include on the internet text, will be present on the WordPerfect DOS disks,
