(More customer reviews)Students in all disciplines need training in ethics. Apparently, using common sense in making ethical decisions doesn't work any more. Science has ethical issues, dealing most with honesty in research and acknowledging other people's work. This book goes through the principles of ethics; this gives a context, a background, to thinking logically in ethics. What registers most with students, though, are the case studies. They are thought provoking and engage the students with real questions to be analyzed. This is the perfect book for a seminar class or a module in a class almost anywhere in the curriculum.
