Jobs for Philosophers (Xlibris, 2004).
http://bookstore.xlibris.com/Products/SKU-0022813002/
Jobs-for-Philosophers.aspx
A collection of reviews of books on themes such as reinventing the culture, the natural history of values,
and de-anthropocentrizing the world. This is the closest to a general methodological self-accounting that I have
yet offered, but it is also only for certain very free spirits, I'm afraid. For one thing because these books actually
dont exist (except for the book reviewed first which is Jobs for Philosophers itself). The title is a play on the
American Philosophical Association's newsletter for academic positions in philosophy. Not surprisingly, this is a
self-published book.
How to Re-Imagine the World: A Pocket Handbook for Practical Visionaries (New Society Publishers, 2007).
http://www.newsociety.com/Books/H/How-To-Re-Imagine-The-World
The subtitle is exact.
Selected Essays
I have written a number of essays and reviews in the above fields as well as others such as philosophy of
education and the philosophy of space exploration. Some of the more noted and often-reprinted of these are
listed below (original appearances only are cited, though if there is a hyperlink it may be to a reprint or archived
version).

This is a less surprising theme in my work than it may seem, given our interest in other-than-human "contact"
right here on Earth; it also emerges in my recent teaching and in the last chapters of both The Incompleat
Ecophilosopher and Mobilizing the Green Imagination.
