I thought this book was a very well written book on Ethics. I used it for my Ethics class in junior college, and it was so well written, and very concise. It discusses ethical issues, as well as teaches the reader how to make good ethical choices. It discusses in each chapter in depth how each process in the decision process should be made, and gives many dilemmas, and examples at the end of each chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Ethics
I'm currently reading this book for an Ethics course, and while originally I thought it not so bad, Chapter Five has caused me to question the ethics of the author. That particular chapter is based on judging other cultures. An example the author uses is the Ik tribe, and he decides to go with Turnbull's assessment of the tribe, based on a study done in the 60's. The author goes on to describe the tribe as without humanity, adulterous, delight in maliciousness, and lacking in social obligations. The author also writes this in a way to imply that this is still the state of things today.Turnbull's study was done at a time that the Ik tribe was experiencing extreme famine and loss of great numbers. These conditions largely affected their day to day life and is an unfair representation of their culture. The tribe today does not resemble the people Turnbull encountered in the 60's, and even in the time that Turnbull did this study he received harsh criticism.It is difficult to read an ethics book from someone preaching how important it is to examine the details before drawing conclusions ... when it is evident he did not even bother to examine the details published in his own book.
I needed this book for a class, and I have ordered a few of my text books on my Kindle. I missed the small print that the book is only supported with the Kindle app on the IPad, Mac, or PC. Since it is not available on the Kindle device directly it will not work for me needed to have the book in class with me. My bad I missed the small print, but will not allow me to return the book. They will not even give me credit on my account because I received this book as a gift through the wish list feature. So I am now going to have to buy the book a second time so that I will be able to have it in class with me. So, be aware that will not do returns on gifts and that even though a book is in the Kindle Store it may not be compatible with your Kindle device.
I had read reviews of the book not working on kindle for android. I first downloaded the kindle app for my nexus 7, signed In, and then went to the website and had it sent directly to the device. Worked flawlessly.
I'm sure the book is good, but its advertised as a kindle item. That's a funny phrase because you might think that you would be able to read it on a kindle. You can't. And in this case I bought it as a gift for my wife for one of her final master classes. Normally you can return kindle items, but since i gave it to her as a gift we can't return it. So we are basically out $45.00. BUYER BEWARE. If you want to read this on your kindle, you can't, and if you make the mistake of gifting it, you can't get your money back. Boo !! I think I'll be making my online purchases elsewhere...
This book was the exact textbook I needed for my Critical Thinking class at Franklin University of Ohio. This book was much cheaper than the book Franklin University's bookstore was selling to it's students. I have actually sent the book back and got credit for it being in good condition.
I bought this book for a college class and it barely got used but it did have good information and it did feel as if the author was speaking to you personally.
This book is in good condition with no major issues with the book, the pages or the cover. Suits my needs.
