From this perspective, the precepts of environmental ethics need to be re-inculcated in our lives and thoughts as a substantive underpinning of our worldly actions. That calls for a deeper understanding of these precepts and their intricate linkages with economic development. Implicit in the holistic vision of human development is the complementarity of environmental ethics together with social equity and economic growth. The subject of environmental ethics is of growing importance. In this context, Shri S.M. Jain's treatise on “Environmental Ethics” well serves the purpose of recreating the lost awareness about the ethical bases of the environment. I commend it to policy-makers, teachers and the general public.
