Review:
I found the ethics questions to be excellent. I wish more texts had something like this.

The colors and design of the Nelson/Quick text enhance their straightforward presentation of the topics.

The text is thorough, well written, and the language is clear. It covers the basic topics. The graphics and use of color are good.

Overall, I think it is a solid text â€" certainly among the top handful of OB texts that I have seen.
