Title: Bal Tashchit: the Jewish prohibition against needless destruction. Thesis
Description: Leiden, 2009. VIII, 247 pp. Very good copy. Softcover. This thesis attempts to answer three basic questions: 1) what exactly is bal tashchit? 2) How might a principle of bal tashchit be applied to current environmental problems? 3) What contributions might the principle of bal tashchit make to the world? The author examines the classic texts in the Jewish tradition from which bal tashchit is derived, including the source-text (Deuteronomy 20:19-20), which contains important symbolism concerning the relationship between man and his environment.
