Customer Reviews

Service was fast and product excellent

I needed the book for a class and although I was a bit late in ordering my purchase arrived in time to begin my studies. The book is excellent quality and it arrived quickly. The two critical requirements for me. Great service!

Best Ethics Book around!

As an ethics instructor, I'm always looking for a good book that will help my students relate. This one was a winner!

Solid Text With Good Instructor's Manual

This text is solid and easy to read. The case studies are up to date and relevant. This is one of the more "user friendly" texts I have used this year. The instructor's manual has good test questions, excellent synopsis, and workable suggestions introducing each class. If you use this text to teach a class, get the instructor's manual.

DATES Test material

I used this text to review for the DANTES "Ethics in America" test (2007) and out of a perfect score of 80 earned a 73 (an A or 92nd percentile). Very well written- not dry as some texts can be. If you want quick review it's in here too- outlines galore!

Best Intro Ethics Book I've Seen

This book was required for my ethics class. I was dreading this class, but after beginning this book, I found myself interested not only in the subject matter, but also in the ideas presented by the author. The 8th edition has been updated to include new sections on stem cell research and terorism in the wake of September 11th. As long as one can read this book with an open mind, they will find it enlightning and interesting. Compared to other ethics readings, this book is a joy to read.
