New York, New York, U.S.A.: Viking Press, 1993 Very-good, clean ex-libris copy of this 1993 hardback. Usual library markings. NO tears inside book. Tight spine - Bright pages. 204 pages. - Price inside dustcover: $17.50. - Annotation The author of Virtues and Values: An Introduction to Ethics shows readers how to develop a moral imagination--and have fun doing it--as he demolishes the cliches of religion and psychotherapy and entices readers into looking at the small actions that make up the big picture of character and values. From The Critics Publishers Weekly This pragmatic guide aims to penetrate the thickets of moral confusion in contemporary society. Although the subject matter is serious and of perennial concern, Halberstam ( Acing College ; Virtues and Values ), who is professor in the philosophy department at New York University, shows that while ``it takes effort to get yur ethics right . . . ethics can also be fun.'' Morality in relationships, in the expression of emotions, in the matter of judgments, and in the choices imposed by modern life are some of the aspects he addresses, with considerable verve and wit. He concedes that today's society makes it difficult for people to tie together the many strands of their personal value systems, but contends that the average person can successfully do so nevertheless. BOMC selection. (Apr.) Library Journal Writing for the lay reader, philosopher Halberstam offers a refreshing change from ethics books that sound preachy or abstruse. Rather than setting down definite principles of moral conduct, he discusses how value judgments influence our responses to a variety of commonplace situations. The result is a potpourri of topics, ranging from the importance of controlling our emotions to the value of learning to use small talk. These tidbits whet the appetite but do not provide much substance or cohesion. Halberstam urges the reader to find values to live by, yet he tends to view values as relative: ``A moral failure anywhere else is a saint in Sodom.'' Because it will appeal to the type of reader who enjoys chatty and upbeat self-help books, Everyday Ethics is appropriate for large public libraries.-- Ilse Heidmann Ali, Kyle Community Lib., Tex. .

NO writing or tears. Tight spine, Bright pages - Doctors are Gods: Corruption and Unethical Practices in the Medical Profession is a shocking firsthand account of the current U.S health-care industry crisis - a crisis so distinguished by its astronomical costs and limited quality care that it affects virtually every person in the country. Collecting anecdotes from interviews with over one hundred health-care providers across the U.S., two medical professionals, David Jacobsen and Eric D. Jacobsen, take an in-depth look at the crisis and examine what has led to it, who contributes to it, and what it will take to resolve it. Issues of unnecessary surgeries, consultation abuses, insurance fraud, sexual harassment, drug-impaired physicians, privileges of medical staff membership, high costs of services, supplies and equipment, and unethical practices emerge. These stories reveal the greed, egotism, malpractice, sex, power, and suffering, but also include remarkable portraits of hope, miracles, and a deep desire for change. In Doctors Are Gods, the authors talk about the Clinton administration's health-care proposal, and advise major reforms in health-care politics that would drastically reduce costs and dramatically combat waste, fraud, and abuse while improving the quality of primary health care. It also gives tips for speaking to physicians and getting the answers and the respect one deserves; lists factors to consider when selecting a hospital; and tells how to protect oneself and one's rights when receiving care..

Stated 3rd Edition Law and Ethics for Medical Careers, 4th edition, provides an overview of the laws and ethics you should know to help you give competent, compassionate care to patients that is within acceptable legal and ethical boundaries. The text can also serve as a guide to help you resolve the many legal and ethical questions you may reasonably expect to face as a student and, later, as a health care practitioner. The text features pertinent legal cases, anecdotes, and sidebars related to health-related careers. Content has been updated and special attention has been paid to legislation affecting health care. Doody Review Services Reviewer: Kevin J Watson, BA, RRT(William Beaumont Hospitals) Description: This book continues to provide an overview of the laws and ethics students should know. Divided into three parts comprising 12 chapters, part 1 is an introduction that covers the foundations of law and ethics. Part 2 deals with legal issues for healthcare practitioners, and part 3 deals with the ethical issues that healthcare practitioners face. The previous edition was published in 2003. Purpose: It is apparent the purpose is to inform healthcare students of the legal and ethical issues they will face in the workplace and in everyday life. These are topics about which every healthcare practitioner should be aware when on the job as well as off the job in our litigious society. Audience: Anyone with a stake in healthcare, be it those delivering it or receiving it, would enjoy reading this book. It is informative and easy to read. The three authors bring years of experience and teaching in writing this textbook and are experts in their fields. Features: The book covers many legal and ethical issues that healthcare practitioners are sure to face. Genetic engineering, death and dying, HIPAA, malpractice, and employment law in the workplace are just a few topics healthcare practitioners are sure to encounter in working with patients, patients' families, coworkers and superiors that are covered in detail. The authors devote an entire chapter to HIPAA that includes frequently asked questions. Childhood vaccinations are also covered, but the book lacks information about what parents' options are, given the public school requirement of vaccination, ifthey do not want their children vaccinated. Assessment: This well written book contains relevant legal cases for many of the legal and ethical issues. The legal cases are real world and inform healthcare practitioners how violating patient privacy and trust can lead to monetary penalties as well as possible jail time.

Liberal theorists contend that religious lawmaking is generally suspect in a morally and religiously diverse polity like the United States, while communitarian theorists argue that lawmakers cannot, and should not, be expected to suppress their religious commitments in their public policy making." Looking carefully at both sides of this ongoing debate, Lucinda Peach explores the limitations as well as the value of these conflicting perspectives and proposes a solution for their reconciliation - Lucinda Peach is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion at American University..

Harmony Books, 1997 Price inside dustcover: $23.00 - In Denial of the Soul, Dr. Peck differentiates the many situations that euthanasia is currently and commonly used to describe and offers new definitions that clarify its meaning. He rails against the inadequate treatment of physical pain and gives sensible medical and spiritual perspectives on chronic and terminal emotional and physical pain and illness. Denial of the Soul grapples with the deeper meanings of life, death, suicide, and euthanasia and asks whether we have the ethical right to kill ourselves even though we have the power. Through compelling stories from Dr. Peck's own experiences as a physician as well as from other medical cases in which some form of euthanasia was either practiced or considered, he explores the core issues that should arise when people face the question of euthanasia for themselves, their loved ones, or society: How does taking a life differ from allowing death? Whose consent does euthanasia require: the patient's, the family's, or the government's? When does physical or emotional pain become grounds for euthanasia?

Synopsis The subtle seduction of power and riches has taken over corporate America. WorldCom Global Crossing. Tyco. Enron. What do all of these once ballyhooed but now reviled corporations have in common, besides bankruptcy and a passel of soon-to-be-indicted senior executives? They all share a thirst for quick profits at the expense of investors, employees, and the most basic of business ethics. The Tao of Enron shows how the core values at Enron led inevitably to its implosion. By sketching out the stories of several of the principal players in this debacle, the authors show how pride, impatience, a lust for power, and the ability to mentally separate issues of faith from the practice of business joined forces to destroy one of America's most admired "young" companies. Authors Chris Seay and Chris Bryan examine the universal issues of faith we can learn from this Fortune 500 fallout. The hard-learned lessons can benefit not merely the boardroom, but also the living room. Anyone can fall prey to the same lust for power, possessions, and status that poisoned Enron. Considering that in 1997 over 57 percent of Americans believed you sometimes have to bend the rules to get by in life (Barna Research), this book is necessary in helping us inspect our goals and beliefs and how they play out in our everyday lives. All of us must choose between two roads that stretch out before us--and all of us are "this close" to the dark side. . Hard Cover. Near-Fine/Near-Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information
