Rogelio Daniel Acevedo and Jesús Martínez Frías (eds.): Geoethics in Latin America: The Latin American Studies Book Series, Springer, 2018, 205 pp, ISBN: 978-3-319-75372-0.

Undoubtedly, this book represents the emerging field of geoethics and current ethical challenges facing geoscientists and a further supporting step in promoting geoethics within the scientific community. In this vein, the authors inform the reader that IAGETH promotes geoethics through international collaboration with other associations and institutions working in the promotion of geoethics. The "International Declaration on Geoethics", approved in October 2011 by the AGID Working Group for Geoethics, emphasizes "the need to strengthen the links of geoethics with the new aspects of geosciences education and to incorporate geoethics into any activity related with the abiotic world" (Druguet et al. [2], pp. 15-16). This volume has the potential to be a transformative contribution to the developing field of geoethics, and we hope that as the field of geoethics becomes even more active, the book will warrant a second edition.
