Speciesism in Biology and Culture: How Human Exceptionalism is Pushing Planetary Boundaries
Speciesism in Biology and Culture: How Human Exceptionalism is Pushing Planetary Boundaries is a thought-provoking and research-grounded exploration of how human attitudes toward other species have shaped ecosystems, ethics, and global sustainability. Now available in Pakistan through BooksHub.pk, this book critically examines the long-standing belief in human superiority—known as speciesism—and explains how this worldview is driving environmental disruption, biodiversity loss, climate instability, and ecological imbalance.
Combining perspectives from biology, anthropology, philosophy, environmental science, and cultural studies, the book provides a comprehensive discussion on how humans interact with animals, plants, and the natural world. It highlights how human societies have historically placed themselves at the center of life on Earth, often at the expense of other living organisms and the ecological systems that sustain us.
