Roger S. Gottlieb is the Smith Professor of Philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the author or editor of 21 books and more than 150 articles on environmental philosophy, religious environmentalism, political philosophy, contemporary spirituality, the Holocaust, and disability. His two works of environmental fiction, Engaging Voices and The Sacrifice Zone, won Nautilus book Awards and his recent philosophy work, Morality and the Environmental Crisis, was called “Book most likely to save the planet” by Independent Publisher Magazine. "How does she do it?" marvels Daniel Aiken. While the environmental crisis fills him with rage and fear his lover and fellow activist Sarah Carson still takes joy in life. As their work becomes increasingly dangerous, a tragic accident makes him face another question: can he learn her secret-or will his heart become yet another sacrifice zone? American Buddhist teacher Anne Sattvic's spiritual tranquility is giving way: long suppressed memories bring back the devastation caused by her sister's heroin addiction. Facing the past, Anne must decide how much of her mastery of Buddhist teaching is only a mask hiding a sacrifice of both family ties and her own ability to feel."Sacrifice Zone"-A Place so polluted it can never be cleaned up.Professor of Philosophy Roger S.
