From Library Journal
During the last ten years, we have seen a proliferation of encyclopedias devoted to ethics and applied ethics. What makes this volume stand out is its relatively reasonable price. Particularly strong in its coverage of genetics, it also gives attention to some environmental, medical, and nuclear issues. In addition, a number of the articles are devoted to basic ethical principles such as intrinsic and instrumental values, human nature, the concept of life, and slippery slope arguments. Contributed by a variety of international scholars and averaging ten pages in length, the 37 signed articles are nicely organized; each begins with an outline and a glossary and ends with a brief bibliography. More than half of the 37 articles appear to be reprints or updates of articles that were originally published in the Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics (LJ 1/98). That set, and the Encyclopedia of Ethical, Legal and Policy Issues in Biotechnology (Wiley, 2000), are still reasonably current and cover many of these topics in much greater depth. Libraries that cannot afford the more expensive reference sources will find this overview to be well worth the price. Tina Neville, Univ. of South Florida Lib., St. Petersburg
