A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox $122.98 A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox takes a refreshingly hands-on approach to ethics. It aims to help its readers make a constructive difference, in both word and deed, in problematic moral situations and real-life moral controversies. Ethics in this book is not a purely academic, historical, or theoretical matter — it is essentially a practical subject that requires a wide range of practical skills: i.e., from paying attention to values to judging similar cases alike; and from learning how to break out of the box to moving beyond rhetoric to real dialogue. This book offers readers the tools to work out constructive, creative, and mutually agreeable decisions — to actually make progress on the issues — when they are faced with contemporary moral problems. In addition to Weston’s discussion, the Toolbox also includes gripping and provocative short selections from essayists, activists, and philosophers.

A Companion to the Works of Friedrich Schiller $162.13 Friedrich Schiller is not merely one of Germany’s foremost poets. He is also one of the major German contributors to world literature. The undying words he gave to characters such as Marquis Posa in Don Carlos and Wilhelm Tell in the eponymous drama continue to underscore the need for human freedom. Schiller cultivated hope in the actualization of moral knowledge through aesthetic education and critical reflection, leading to his ideal of a more humane humanity. At the same time, he was fully cognizant of the problems that attend various forms of idealism. Yet for Schiller, ultimately, love remains the gravitational center of the universe and of human existence, and beyond life and death joy prevails. This collection of cutting-edge essays by some of the world’s leading Schiller experts constitutes a milestone in scholarship. It includes in-depth discussions of the writer’s major dramatic and poetic works, his essays on aesthetics, and his activities as historian, anthropologist, and physiologist, as well as of his relation to the ancients and of Schiller reception in 20th-century Germany. Contributors: Steven D. Martinson, Walter Hinderer, David Pugh, Otto Dann, Werner von Stransky-Stranka-Greifenfels, J. M. van der Laan, Rolf-Peter Janz, Lesley Sharpe, Norbert Oellers, Dieter Borchmeyer, Karl S. Guthke, Wulf Koepke. Steven D. Martinson is professor of German at the University of Arizona.

A Suitable Amount of Crime $47.95 Regularly the media reminds us that while crime rates fall, fear of crime remains and prison populations soar. How can these apparent contradictions be so? Crime and punishment are social and cultural manifestations; they are closely bound up with people’s perceptions of morality, norms and values. In this book Nils Christie argues that crime is a fluid and shallow concept – acts that could be constructed as criminal are unlimited and crime is therefore in endless supply. It should not be forgotten that there are alternatives, both in the definition of crime and in responses to it. A Suitable Amount of Crime looks at the great variations between countries in what are considered unwanted acts, how many are constructed as criminal and how many are punished. It explains the differences between eastern and western Europe, between the United States and the rest of the world. The author laments the size of prison populations in countries with large penal sectors, and asks whether the international community has a moral obligation to shame states that are punitive in the extreme. The book is written in an engaging and easily accessible style and will appeal to anyone interested in understanding contemporary problems of crime and punishment.

Age Of Greed $30 Madrick makes clear that the single-minded pursuit of huge personal wealth did not start in the 2000s but has been on the rise in the United States since the 1970s.

Al-Kitaab Fii Tacallum Al-Carabiyya; A Textbook for Arabic, Part 2 $32.13 From the first warning of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in 1962 to the international 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment, from the Reagan era attempt to dismantle environmental policy through the Clinton administration, the United States — the world’s wealthiest country and also the world’s largest polluter, has found ways to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and their impact on the global environment. The U.S. has the financial resources necessary to solve international environmental problems by developing and using new technologies, and it can play a central role in international efforts to protect the environment.An international group of scholars looks at environmental debates as they have formed through the decades leading up to the challenges the George W. Bush administration must confront if the United States is to be a leader in international environmental policy rather than a reluctant follower at best — or at worst, a nation that shirks its moral responsibility to the planet all human beings must share.Covering three broad areas — national security and geopolitics, domestic and international politics, and national interests and international obligations — the contributors examine a host of key issues, including ozone depletion and climate change, biodiversity and whale hunting, environmental and energy security, and international trade. Because the environment has become an ever-more pressing issue at the diplomatic level, this book is essential, timely reading for policymakers, activists, and anyone interested in environmental change and international relations.

Astrid Lindgren $101.95 In this first book-length study intended for American readers of the Swedish author – and the first to compare story line, character development, and narrative style in the original Swedish and in English translation – Eva-Maria Metcalf offers up not only a lighthearted appreciation of the single-minded Pippi and the other quirky heroes and heroines that populate Lindgren’s books but also a serious assessment of Lindgren’s thematic concerns, especially her profound commitment to children’s rights. Lindgren, also known for her activism in animal rights (Sweden’s most recent animal protection legislation was named for her), holds the interests of society’s less powerful at heart; like Pippi, she rarely misses an opportunity to challenge the authority of a foolhardy adult or to question a wrongheaded social or moral convention. Most Lindgren stories provide for children a dreamworld of wish fulfillment , Metcalf writes; obstacles are overcome, problems solved, cruelty exposed, needs for love and comfort eventually met, and desires for such simple pleasures as whipped-cream cakes and rice pudding sated. The author’s fictional places are projections of Lindgren’s visions of a better society and a more humane life for both children and adults , serving not only as an escape but as an inspiration for her readers . Never cautionary tales or moralizing fables , Metcalf concludes, Lindgren’s stories carry within them the complexity and inscrutability of folktales . This broad survey of Lindgren’s fiction – from the books that recall the author’s native, rural, turn-of-the-century Smaland to the books of happy anarchy about freckle-faced Pippi and the lazily rebellious Karlsson-on-the-Roofto the powerful quest narratives of Mio, My Son, The Brothers Lionheart, and Ronia, the Robber’s Daughter – makes clear her gifts as a storyteller with a deep and abiding respect for her primary audience: children.

Biomedical Ethics $19.95 Today, advances in medicine and biotechnology occur at a rapid pace and have a profound impact on our lives. Mechanical devices can sustain an injured person’s life indefinitely. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the body and brain can reveal disordersbefore symptoms appear. Genetic testing of embryos can predict whether people will have diseases earlier or later in life. It may even become possible to clone human beings. These and other developments raise difficult ethical questions. Biomedical Ethics is an engaging philosophical introduction to the most important ethical positions and arguments in six areas of biomedicine: the patient-doctor relationship, medical research on humans, reproductive rights and technologies, genetics, medical decisions at the end of life, andthe allocation of scarce medical resources. Concisely capturing the historical, contemporary, and future-oriented aspects of the field, author Walter Glannon discusses both perennial issues in medicine, such as doctors’ duties to patients, and recent and emerging issues in scientific innovation, including gene therapy and cloning. Ideal for undergraduate courses in contemporary moral problems, introduction to ethics, and introduction to bioethics, Biomedical Ethics is accessible to students who have little or no background in ethical theory, medicine, or biotechnology.

Blind Faith: Confronting Contemporary Religion $17.34 Rejecting the many magical solutions offered for human problems, Chester Dolan unmasks the folly that has passed for religion throughout history and the many dangers it poses to the human community. After recounting numerous examples of the fear and hate that many religious systems impose on people’s lives, he argues that the world would be a far better place if we could exorcise our presumptuous gods, reject the religion of the mystics, and realize that our destiny rests with us. Rather than slavish adherence to sacred books and archaic superstitions, religion should mean, says Dolan, nothing more than a genuine fellowship among all people of good will united in mutual respect and cooperation. Only with a discriminating use of reason can we marshal facts and establish procedures to guide human progress. Motivated by reason, concern for others, and moral integrity, we can regain not only our sanity, but the right to think and the freedom to choose.

Boundaries and Allegiances: Problems of Justice and Responsibility in Liberal Thought $52.77 This exceptional work–a collection of eleven essays by one of the most fascinating moral philosophers currently writing–explores a perspective that is at once sympathetic towards and critical of liberal political philosophy. The essays address the capacity of liberal thought, and of the moral traditions on which it draws, to accommodate a variety of challenges posed by the changing circumstances of the modern world. They also consider how, in an era of rapid globalization, when our lives are structured by social arrangements and institutions of ever-increasing size, complexity, and scope, we can best conceive of the responsibilities of individual agents and the normative significance of our diverse commitments and allegiances. Linked by common themes, the volume examines the responsibilities we have in virtue of belonging to a community, the compatibility of such obligations with equality, the demands of distributive justice in general, and liberalism’s relationship to liberty, community, and equality.

Bridge to Light $15.95 Addressed to Muslims in western societies and to non-Muslims interested in learning about the religion, this portrait of contemporary Islam uses simple terms to show how Islam crosses boundaries of language and culture.

For practicing Muslims, the book advises on how best to navigate western culture without compromising traditional values.

Business As a Calling $25.95 A larger proportion than ever before of the world’s Christians, Jews, and other peoples of faith are spending their working lives in business. Business is a profession worthy of a person’s highest ideals and aspirations, fraught with moral possibilities both of great good and of great evil. Novak takes on agonizing problems, such as downsizing, the tradeoffs that must sometimes be faced between profits and human rights, and the pitfalls of philanthropy. He also examines the daily questions of how an honest day’s work contributes to the good of many people, both close at hand and far away. Our work connects us with one another. It also makes possible the universal advance out of poverty, and it is an essential prerequisite of democracy and the institutions of civil society.

Care of the Aged $47.76 This interdisciplinary collection of essays deals with the moral issues associated with the treatment and care of the elderly-and offers proposals for solving them.

Cecilia Valdes $27.17 Cecilia Valdes is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Written in 1882 by Cirilo Villaverde in exile in New York City, but set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel recounts a story of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. The heroine of the novel, the beautiful light-skinned mulatta named Cecilia, is being pursued by Leonardo, the son of a Spanish slave trader. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo’s advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who is getting bored with his mistress, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. Rich in social and historical detail, Cecilia Valdes opens a window into the intricate problems of race relations in the Caribbean, the interactions between sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of colonialism.

Christian Ethics $17 In this excellent outline of Christian ethics, Robin W. Lovin achieves a balance between the questions and issues which form the core of the study of ethics, and the life situations from which those questions arise. Eschewing a sectarian approach which dismisses other understandings of the moral life, Lovin nonetheless lays claim to a specifically Christian understanding of ethics by beginning with basic Christian convictions about the reality of God and human redemption, and weaving these convictions into the fabric of moral concerns that are widely shared in contemporary society. He takes note of the problems that arise when Christians try to act on or enforce their convictions in a pluralistic society, and recognizes the variety of theological and moral beliefs that are held within the Christian community, as well as in the wider society.

Christian Ethics and Contemporary Moral Problems $116 Christian Ethics and Contemporary Moral Problems

Christian Ethics and Contemporary Moral Problems $38 This book addresses such key ethical issues as euthanasia, the environment, biotechnology, abortion, the family, sexual ethics, and the distribution of health care resources. Michael Banner argues that the task of Christian ethics is to understand the world and humankind in the light of the credal affirmations of the Christian faith, and to explicate this understanding in its significance for human action through a critical engagement with the concerns, claims and problems of other ethics. He illustrates both the distinctiveness of Christian convictions in relation to the above issues and also the critical dialogue with practices based on other convictions which this sense of distinctiveness motivates but does not prevent. The book’s importance lies in its attempt to show the crucial difference which Christian belief makes to an understanding of these issues, whilst at the same time demonstrating some of the weaknesses and confusions of certain popular approaches to them.

Cloning: Frontiers of Genetic Engineering $55.03 The Megatech Series introduces children to the exciting world of cutting-edge science and technology.

Collected Papers $71.5 John Rawls’s work on justice has drawn more commentary and aroused wider attention than any other work in moral or political philosophy in the twentieth century. Rawls is the author of two major treatises, A Theory of Justice (1971) and Political Liberalism (1993); it is said that A Theory of Justice revived political philosophy in the English-speaking world. But before and after writing his great treatises Rawls produced a steady stream of essays. Some of these essays articulate views of justice and liberalism distinct from those found in the two books. They are important in and of themselves because of the deep issues about the nature of justice, moral reasoning, and liberalism they raise as well as for the light they shed on the evolution of Rawls’s views. Some of the articles tackle issues not addressed in either book They help identify some of the paths open to liberal theorists of justice and some of the knotty problems which liberal theorists must seek to resolve. A complete collection of John Rawls’s essays is long overdue.

This book attempts to reclaim what the author maintains is a core moral value in Islam- the value of beauty.

Consensus Formation in Healthcare Ethics $148 Consensus is an important topic in bioethics. Approaches to consensus formation developed over the last decade to establish standards of clinical practice are now extended to moral issues. Healthcare ethics committees, ethics advisory boards, and national ethics committees aim at creating and formulating consensus. The essays in this volume analyse the various dimensions of consensus formation. They demonstrate the clinical, institutional and political context of consensus regarding ethical issues.

The essays in the volume explore the potentials and problems of forming consensus at various levels of health care in modern pluralist societies.

Soon enough, miss Let’s Play Fair is replaced by Miss Get Even Texas Style, and Raven knows both roles equally well.

Conversations with Zygmunt Bauman $24.95 Zygmunt Bauman is one of the leading figures in contemporary social thought. His work ranges across issues of ethics, culture and politics. It never forgets that social thought ought to help men and women make sense of their lives and aspire towards something different. His books and essays always focus on the here and now: violence and moral indifference, globalization, consumerism, politics and individualization. They cast a sharp eye on the panaceas of lsquo; there is no alternative’; the embrace of community and the fads of the lsquo; counselling boom’; through which men and women are told that they can achieve biographical solutions to what are, in fact, systemic problems. In this new book, Zygmunt Bauman and Keith Tester engage in five accessible conversations that uncover and explore the assumptions and commitments underpinning Bauman’s ground-breaking social thought. The conversations show how those commitments have influenced Bauman’s analyses of modernity, postmodernity and lsquo; liquid modernity’. The book ranges widely, from autobiographical reflection through to pointers for the understanding and future of Bauman’s social thought. The conversations illustrate the moral substance of Bauman’s refusal to accept that the world cannot be made different. They show why social thought is a human necessity. Conversations with Zygmunt Bauman is a book which will offer fresh insight into Bauman’s work for those who are familiar with it, and provide an engaging and helpful entry point for those who are new to it.
