Yes, I completely understand that's a hefty sum from personal budgets, but if you think the book would interest scholars & students at Colorado State, perhaps suggest it as a library acquisition—the folks at MIT Press and I would be grateful! In any case, thank you so much for your interest, Andrew!

hi #philsky friends, I am teaching a sophomore-level environmental ethics for the first time this summer and am looking for reading recommendations as I put together my syllabus. If you’ve taught a similar course before, what are your core go-to readings you think absolutely need to be included? TIA

Probably the best indicator that you're done with literature review is when you catch yourself searching Google Scholar for the exact paper you're supposed to be writing. (And 0 results is clearly good news.)
