Philosophy and Biodiversity (Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology)
by Juhani Pietarinen
"This collection focuses on the nature and importance of biodiversity. The concept is clarified and its intrinsic and instrumental value is discussed. Even though the term biodiversity was invented in the 1980s to promote the cause of species conservation, discussions on biological diversity go back to Plato." "The book will be of interest to philosophers of science and biologists, but also to anyone interested in conservation and the environment."--Jacket.

Book Details
First Sentence
"The neologism "biodiversity" entered the vocabularies of science, bioethics, the media, and the environmentally aware public during the 1980s; its longer version, "biological diversity," has been in use since the late 1970s (Schwarz et al. 1976; States et al. 1978)."
