"The Briefing Sessions offer the instructor an opportunity to move from abstract applied ethics to the concrete circumstances lived by others. For some students, this brings ethics down from the lofty heights of academic exercise and into the reality of daily life.""The format used to introduce the topics and issues are engaging. The case studies bring the issues into focus as they are real life cases. The readings are excellent as they give the reader good arguments as to the pros and cons of each issue. The discussions are easy for the student to comprehend as they are not mired in technical terms or words that students are not familiar with."

This book could easily be condensed and cut in half Too redundant of a book. This book could easily be condensed and cut in half. Good content but just too repetitive.Book falling apart I rented this textbook for spring semester and it was falling apart when I received it. It was impossible to avoid further damage while using it. There was a page missing from a part of the text that I needed to read. I later found it tucked in another part of the book. Pages in the back were starting to fall out. I am really hoping that I do not get charged for any of this damage. I am worried that it will fall apart even more as it gets returned.Other than that, the content was great.Great Book Great book! Utilized this book a lot and found value from reading it.
