"Holmes Rolston, III is on any account a towering figure both in environmental
ethics and in the field of science and religion. Christopher Preston has now
performed a service by publishing Rolston's first biography, written in a relaxed,
semi-popular style. Debates and deep issues are tackled with the profundity
they deserve, as well as significant biographical landmarks; in keeping with
the style quotations are selected as encapsulating Rolston's thinking of one
or another period, but are seldom ascribed to particular works. ... One
of the greatest strengths of the work is its excellent coverage of theological
and religious issues, in connection with Rolston's early upbringing, heritage,
and theological training, and with his much more recent work reconciling science
and faith. ... Preston's enjoyable book ... can be recommended as
a good read ... and also supplements the achievements of a thinker who will
be as much remembered for his inauguration of environmental philosophy, for
his generosity, and for his striking prose evocations of nature, as for the
force of his often ingenious and incisive arguments."
