Justice in Health Care Review "Seay and Nuccetelli have done an admirable job at distilling and making accessible a large body of medical information, complex case law, and philosophical ethics. Their text makes the project of developing competence and understanding in bioethics a lot less daunting, without simplifying the philosophical and scientific issues. The book is organized so that instructors can easily design a course around a subset of the topics covered, and its teaching and learning resources are outstanding. This is the best bioethics textbook I am aware of, for students and teachers alike."Brandon Cooke, Professor & Chair (Philosophy), Minnesota State University, Mankato"This is a concise introduction to bioethics that covers a lot of ground. The chapters are sufficiently self-contained so that the text can be adapted to different course designs, and the boxes and figures throughout are helpful learning aids. Important cases are discussed but dont dominate the discussion, so the emphasis remains on the philosophical arguments and issues."William A. Bauer, North Carolina State University"Seay and Nuccetelli offer a refreshing and bold approach to bioethics that confronts readers directly, requiring them to intimately wrestle with the most pressing issues through numerous case studies and a nuanced analysis of the core concepts and principles. The authors strike a delicate balance between accessibility and depth, with the results being a text that is eminently readable. This is not easy material, but the authors have created a text open to readers with little or no philosophical background without sacrificing the complexity found in these important discussions. They also offer an expansive and up-to-date sourcebook to find primary sources online in the companion website."Scott OLeary, University of Saint Mary Details ISBN1032189185 Author Susana Nuccetelli Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Year 2023 Edition 2nd ISBN-13 9781032189185 Format Paperback Subtitle An Introduction With Case Studies Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Illustrations 12 Line drawings, black and white; 23 Halftones, black and white; 35 Illustrations, black and white AU Release Date 2023-08-08 NZ Release Date 2023-08-08 Edition Description 2nd edition Alternative 9781032189345 DEWEY 174.2 Audience Undergraduate Publication Date 2023-08-31 UK Release Date 2023-08-31 ISBN-10 1032189185 Pages 460 Imprint Routledge Replaces 9780415837958 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
