Miljø og menneske: Kritiske perspektiver
Miljø og menneske: Kritiske perspektiver (Environment and Humans: Critical Perspectives), with Tarjei Rønnow, (Oslo: Gyldendal, 2002).
[Norwegian] Mediene har lenge foret oss med negative nyheter om jordens tilstand, godt hjulpet av miljøvernere. Forfatterne av denne boken ønsker å gi en litt annen versjon av forholdet mellom miljø og menneske. I den tro at konstruktiv kritikk ikke undergraver miljøvernet, men bidrar til å fornye og styrke det, er det i denne boken samlet et knippe kritiske innspill i den pågående miljødebatten. Med bidrag fra Bjørn Lomborg, Pedr Anker, Erling Fossen, Arne Kalland, Nils Roll-Hansen, Tarjei Rønnow og Jens Saugstad. Boken er skrevet med tanke på studenter i miljørelaterte fag ved universiteter og høgskoler, men kan også lese av alle som er interessert i miljø- og samfunnsspørsmål.

Seeing Pink: The Eco-Art of Simon Starling
“Seeing Pink: The Eco-Art of Simon Starling,” Journal of Visual Art Practice 7 (2008), 3-9.
The artist Simon Starling offers a critique of different aspects of the history of ecology. Ecology represents a fragmented discipline, which signifies different things depending on the situation and on who’s talking. In his work, Starling expresses this multi-faced discipline as a series of different mediations between nature and culture.
Deep Ecology in Bucharest
“Deep Ecology in Bucharest,” Trumpeter 24 (2008), 56-58.
Why did the Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss chose to launch deep ecology at the “3rd World Future Research Conference” in Bucharest in 1972? In the original paper, published here for the first time, Næss discusses his theoretical framework as well as the “the shallow” ecological movement he disagrees with, material which was not included in the famous 1973 version of the paper entitled “The Shallow and the Deep, Long-Range Ecology Movements: A Summary.”
