Hardback. Condition: Good. During his 40-year career as a bioethicist, Zaner has emphasized listening as the first duty of the ethicist and health care provider. He has written several books in which he tells poignant stories of patients and families he has encountered; there is no question that this is his finest work to date. Among Zaner's numerous memorable characters are Tom, a dialysis patient who finally reveals that his inability to work--encouraged by his overprotective mother--is the source of his hostility to treatment; Jim and Sue, young parents who must face the nightmare of turning off the ventilator for their dying baby; Mrs. Oland, whose family refuses to recognize her calm acceptance of her own death; and, in the final chapter, the author's mother, whose slow demise continues to haunt Zaner's professional and personal life. But this is no paean to bathos. These stories are filled with both pain and joy, of loneliness and hope. They are about real life, about what happens in hospital rooms--and beyond--when clay-footed people confront their mortality. It is the rarest of glimpses into the world of patients, their families, healers, and those who struggle, like Zaner, to understand.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Being a consumer is now integral to the human experience, something none of us can avoid. At the same time, many of the products that we buy come to us with histories steeped in highly unethical practices, such as worker exploitation, animal suffering, and environmental damage. Consuming Choices considers the ethical dimensions of consumer life by exploring several basic questions: Exactly what sorts of unethical practices are implicated in today's consumer products? Does moral culpability for these practices fall solely on the companies that perform them, or does it also fall upon consumers who purchase the products made with such practices? And most importantly, do consumers ever have moral obligations to avoid particular products? To answer, David T. Schwartz provides the most detailed philosophical exploration to date on consumer ethics. He utilizes historical and fictional examples to illustrate the types of wrongdoing currently implicated by consumer products in this age of globalization, offers a clear description of the relevant moral theories and important ethical concepts, and provides concrete suggestions on how to be a more ethical consumer.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Across the democratic West, politics has become deeply polarised and profoundly personal. Challenge someone?s political views and increasingly you challenge their very being.And yet, do our political tribes even make sense? Look carefully, and on the most important ethical issues of the age ? assisted dying, social welfare, sexual liberation, abortion, gun control, the environment, technology, justice ? the instinctive positions of both the Left and the Right are riven with contradictions. In this refreshing and eye-opening book, James Mumford, a public thinker and independent commentator, questions the basic assumptions of our political groups. His challenge is simple: ?Why should believing strongly about one topic mean the automatic adoption of so many others?? Vexed is an essential and provocative account that will appeal to anyone of independent thought, and a welcome call for new reflection on the moral issues most relevant to our modern way of life.…
