Review:

The text is well organized throughout. The questions, problems, and projects at the end of the chapters are valuable, insightful and avoid the cliche and "busy work" that other texts in this field tend to provide at the end of their chapters. I especially appreciated the "Internet assignments" at chapter's end.

After examination, I have a high opinion of your text. I like its comprehensiveness, covering affirmative action, product liability, workplace safety, environmental protection, advertising, privacy, wistleblowing, and sexual harassment.

The author's have done a terrific job in choosing ethical and legal issues that are challenging, important and timely.

This text is chock-full of excellent, real life case studies that raise important legal and ethical issues. The rich case studies provide students with the opportunity to ponder abstract legal and moral issues, to clarify their goals and values, and to prepare themselves for difficult issues they are likely to face in business and in life.
