About the Author:
Roberta Springer Loewy, Bioethics Program, University of California, Davis; University of California Medical Center, Sacramento California, USA.
Review:
`An unqualified success...concise and well written...The medical student or resident will find the substance and style immediately accessible. The book will equally serve the seasoned medical practitioner who is uninitiated in analysis of the ethical dimensions of practice...a valuable work.'
New England Journal of Medicine
`Will prove worthwhile to any student or scholar seeking a painless introduction to the study of ethics.'
American Scientist
`This textbook is pithy, comprehensive, and interesting, unlike some books with flashier titles, and would be an excellent book for discussion-based classroom use.'
Ethics, April 1998
