An impressive line-up. The book is everything it purports to be. For someone who wants a short collection of many of the seminal and influential essays in applied philosophy, one probably can't do better than this. --Teaching Philosophy<br> Excellent, provocative. --M.B. Montgomery, Drexel University<br> The students in my introductory course respond enthusiastically to this book. --M.A. Box, Dickinson State University<br> Excellent collection of some of the world's greatest contributors-past and present-to civilization! I am thoroughly impressed. --Susan B. Dickey, Temple University<br> One of the best collections of readings both in terms of scope and aptness. Could be used as a foundation text in any course in applied ethics. --Manuel M. Davenport, Texas A&M University<br>
