<p>This is the first <em>Theory and Practice</em> from Eco-Justice Press. We present to you a wide range of topics relating to eco-justice*, by authors from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. We are pleased to give the authors a new venue to present their thoughts and we appreciate their contributions. Also, we thank Chet Bowers for writing the After-word.&nbsp;</p>
