Annotated Bibliography


Tait-Jamieson, Tim. The Hunter and the Wolf: Environmental Ethics in Switzerland (n.d.): n. pag. University of Fribourg, Department of Geosciences, Geography Unit. University of Fribourg, May 2012. Web.

In many modern western industrial societies, recreational hunting or hunting for sport is recognized as a contested and controversial issue. This stems from tensions over contrasting moral view of how humans relate or rather should relate with the natural world. In this scholarly thesis article the author goes into great depth in examining historical research, supportive collected data sampling, and moral as well as environmental ethics and values. He supports his research extensively though does not offer any of his own credentials, background, or qualifications which makes it somewhat difficult to determine credibility. 

I found this article to be extremely pertinent to the moral and environmental values and ethics I hope to examine in my research. As I hope to do, the author does a great job in offering abstract, contemporary, traditional, and first hand perspectives of the matter, ideas similarly centered around the social construction of nature. The context is relative in time as well as target audience and informative structure of purpose, offering a great example of a well structured research article.
