Review Bioethics (Principles of Medical Biology) / Elsevier:In preparing Volume 1A, we have been able to secure chapters from a number of bioethicists who have tried to give the reader, in particular, the student, a clear idea of how bioethics is now impinging on medicine. Though we attach weight to the subject of abortion, this has been omitted because it is too controversial. Ethical issues arising in the field of clinical genetics are addressed in the Molecular and Cellular Genetics module (Volume 4).

Review Key Workskills / Gower Publishing Company:Key WorkSkills is a flexible training resource designed to develop those key skills common to practically any kind of professional, managerial or administrative career. As such, the material is ideal for people at the beginning of their working career, for fresh recruits to the organisation, or for staff taking on managerial or professional responsibilities for the first time. The units in this manual use an interactive approach which has been extensively tested, and has proved to be particularly effective at building on existing skills and developing new ones. The main principle behind the approach is that effective performance in any area of work is about being able to identify an appropriate response to work situations and draw on a range of skills or behaviours to meet the needs of that situation. Each unit therefore focuses on a particular skill and is probably best used in conjunction with a real work task that requires that skill. This enables the learner to learn 'on the job', applying the new skills in their own work setting, an approach which is known to help skill retention. The modular structure and wide range of skills covered in this manual make Key WorkSkills a flexible and valuable learning or training centre resource. Key WorkSkills covers five of the six skills* identified as Key Skills by the Qualification and Curriculum Authority (QCA), namely: * Communication * Working with numbers * Working with others * Improving own learning and performance * Problem solving. (Note: *The sixth Key Skill is Information Technology - whilst this manual refers to IT, it does not attempt to cover such a large skill area in depth. ).

Review An Introduction to Business Ethics (Introducing Philosophy, 3) / Blackwell Publishers:This book is a concise overview of the relevance and application of moral philosophy to all those involved in business and employment. It is the ideal introduction for beginning students of applied philosophy, business or management ethics. It focuses on the ethical aspects underlying the decisions people in business make every day, and at all levels within an organisation. The book addresses questions such as: What is unethical in business practice? Do businesses have ethical obligations beyond those underpinned by the law? Is it merely foolish to conform to laws which are not enforced? It also explains why and to whom ethics matter, and why it is a mistake to think that business and ethics cannot and need not mix.

Review Bioethics and the Humanities (Biomedical Law and Ethics Library) / UCL Press:Critiquing many areas of medical practice and research whilst making constructive suggestions about medical education, this book extends the scope of medical ethics beyond sole concern with regulation. Illustrating some humanistic ways of understanding patients, this volume explores the connections between medical ethics, healthcare and subjects, such as philosophy, literature, creative writing and medical history and how they can affect the attitudes of doctors towards patients and the perceptions of medicine, health and disease which have become part of contemporary culture. The authors examine a range of ideas in medical practice and research, including:the idea that patient status or the doctor/patient relationship can be understood via quantitative scalesthe illusion fostered by medical ethics that doctors, unlike those in other professions, are uniquely beneficent and indeed altruistic. An excellent text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of law, medical ethics and medical healthcare law, Bioethics and the Humanities shows the real ethical achievements, problems and half-truths of contemporary medicine.
