Environmental Dimensions of Islam

Islamic attitudes are of increasing concern to the Western world and environmental issues claim much attention as well. Few non-Muslims realize, however, that there is a distinctive Islamic contribution to the debate on the environment which Dr. Dien provides here. His book views the topic from historical, theological, philosophical, legal and ethical perspectives, examining such aspects as the Koranic doctrine of Creation, human responsibility and the actions of governments. His conclusions will challenge those of all faiths, and none, to reconsider their attitudes towards the natural world and its conservation.Dien, Mawil Izzi is the author of 'Environmental Dimensions of Islam', published 1997 under ISBN 9780718829605 and ISBN 0718829603.
