Halberstam, Joshua Everyday Ethics: Inspired Solutions to Real-Life Dilemmas
New York, New York, U.S.A. Viking Press 1993 0670842478 / 9780670842476 Hard Cover Very Good Very Good Ex-Library 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
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.

Hubbard, Ruth;Wald, Elijah Exploding the Gene Myth: How Genetic Information Is Produced and Manipulated by Scientists, Physicians, Employers, Insurance Companies, Educators, A
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Beacon Press 1994 0807004197 / 9780807004197 Trade Paperback Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Near-fine copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. Covers are clean, show light wear (NO tears). Tight spine, clean pages. Illustrated. NO tears inside book. ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's signature in book front on blank page (Tony Garrison). 206 pages. Synopsis: How Genetic Information Is Produced and Manipulated by Scientists, Physicians, Employers, Insurance Companies, Educators, and Law Enforcers "With their rich array of citations and examples . . . [Hubbard and Wald] show how the marriage of science and business . . . has created that most treacherous of American progeny: commerce masquerading as human liberation." -Daniel Callahan, The New York Times Book Review Publishers Weekly: Harvard biologist Hubbard and freelance writer Wald are leading critics of ``the myth of the all-powerful gene.'' In a hard-hitting critique of genetic determinism and biotechnology, they attack scientists who cite DNA sequences as the presumed basis for a genetic tendency to cancer, high blood pressure, alcoholism and criminal behavior. Such researchers are guilty of leaps of faith and logic, charge the authors. Arguing that genetic screening tests may increase discrimination against people with perceived shortcomings, Hubbard and Wald criticize the Human Genome Project, whose goal is to map the entire sequence of the three billion DNA and RNA subunits that make up our genes. Claims that this project will lead to cures for a wide range of diseases are unfounded, contend the authors. They demonstrate that DNA matching or ``fingerprinting,'' touted by criminal prosecutors as a foolproof forensic tool, is actually fallible. Their expose of the fallacies and pitfalls of genetic testing in schools, the workplace, and by doctors and insurance companies makes this an important handbook.

Jacobsen, David; Jacobsen, Eric D. Doctors Are Gods: Corruption and Unethical Practices in the Medical Profession
New York, New York, U.S.A. Thunder's Mouth Press 1994 1560250704 / 9781560250708 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $22.95. 292 pages. 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.
