Editorial Reviews:
Product Description
In this influential work, Stone argues that special guardians be empowered to speak for the "voiceless" elements in nature, in effect, to give legal standing in the court of law to endangered species and threatened forests.
The 25th anniversary edition features an additional collection of his most influential writings:
How to Heal the Planet
The Convention on Biological Diversity
Should We Establish a Guardian to Speak for Future Generations?
An Environmental Ethic for the 21st Century
A new Introduction and Epilogue, "Trees" at Twenty-Five, narrate the reception of the Should Trees Have Standing? thesis in various countries, and appraise the present state of the environmental movement.

The clearest book available on the legal rights of trees. May 3, 1999
6 out of 11 found this review helpful
Christopher Stone's book is a classic niche of focused thought on the legal rights of trees and other natural objects. After reading this book you will be able to support those efforts designed to make the world-for its own sake-a better place to live in. Worth reading and should be reprinted !!!
