The intent of this volume was to reach out to academics and the broader community interested in what geographers have to say about some of the profound ethical issues of our time. Its immediate antecedent was an initiative I organized called the Geography/Ethics Project (GEP), whose participants exchanged essays and ideas during 1996 and 1997. We subsequently appealed both to GEP participants and other geographers to contribute original essays exploring the place of ethics in geography, of geography in ethics, and/or the ways in which ethics mattered to them intellectually and personally.
