Summary
This is the first book that explains how you actually go about doing good bioethics. John McMillan develops an account of the nature of bioethics; he reveals how a number of methodological spectres have obstructed bioethics; and then he shows how moral reason can be brought to bear upon practical issues via an 'empirical, Socratic' approach.

Summary
Every day we hear stories about the consequences of human frailties for individuals, their families, friends, and organizations. These involve alcohol and drug addiction and other harmful lifestyle choices, and all kinds of unethical and illegal behaviour, including bribery and corruption, price fixing, theft and fraud, sexual harassment and abuse of authority, fiddling expenses and cheating at sport and in exams. Efforts to teach ethical behaviour in business schools make little difference. The media who report others' frailties are themselves unethical and engage in illegal conduct. This book.

Summary
"Most books and articles still treat leadership and ethics as related though separate phenomena. This edited volume is an exception to that rule, and explicitly treats leadership and ethics as a single domain. This holds especially true for the military, as it is one of the few organizations that can legitimately use violence. Military leaders have to deal with personnel who have either used or experienced violence. This intertwinement of leadership and violence separates military leadership from leadership in other professions. Even in a time that leadership is increasingly questioned, it is still good leadership that keeps soldiers from crossing the thin line between legitimate force and excessive violence."--Provided by publisher.

Summary
"Ultimate Price shows a multitude of ways people's lives are being valued, explains the methods involved and then forcefully argues against the rampant unfairness in the system. These price tags on human life often value young lives more than old, rich more than poor, white Americans more than black Americans, Americans more than foreigners and relatives more than strangers. The calculations that underlie these price tags and the dramatic ramifications they have on our lives are often buried in technical language. These price tags are sometimes unfair, yet they influence our economy, our laws and policies. The book explains in simple terms how economists, corporations, regulators, insurance companies make and use these price tags. The limitations in the methods will be spotlighted so readers can understand how these price tags can often be chauvinistic, racist or elitist. Readers will be enlightened, surprised and sometimes angry after learning how these critical calculations work and the issues and implications hidden inside the equations. Regardless of how the price tag is created, the output is a price tag placed on someone's life. This price tag drives decisions that impact nearly all aspects of life, from creating new life to delaying inevitable death. The price tag is reflected in how we spend our time and money. The book shows how these price tags drive political decisions, decisions of criminal punishment and awards in civil suits, decisions ranging from life insurance to healthcare to education investments to abortions"--

Summary
"In June 2015, Pope Francis published Laudato si', a magisterial vision of ecological flourishing and integral human development. At a meeting opened by Pope Francis in September 2015, world leaders came together at the United Nations to adopt Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In December of that same year, the same 193 member states of the UN met in Paris to adopt the Paris Climate Agreement. Between October 2016 and December 2018, Monsignor Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo (Chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences) and Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs (University Professor, Columbia University) led a project titled Ethics in Action. Inspired by the leadership and vision of Pope Francis and guided by the framework of the SDGs, this initiative convened a core group of about 40 religious leaders, philosophers, practitioners, and scientists to explore the possibility of a shared moral vision of human flourishing that could ground sustainable development principles, practices, and actions. At 11 meetings this core group engaged in dialogue on the values and ethics (religious and secular) needed for addressing various challenges of sustainabl e development (poverty, peace and conflict, the refugee crisis, environmental justice, and the future of work). Enlisting the participation of international religious leaders has become increasingly important in framing efforts to obtain global consensus on environmental and many other issues. Ethics in Action for Sustainable Development reflects the thoughtful planning behind this initiative to ensure diversity and intellectual depth by capturing the religious and ethical thought of over 30 of its leaders and core members based on two years' worth of discussion and reflection on the ethical consensus needed to advance the SDGs. No other volume on sustainability and ethics or religion and ecology reflects such a sustained deliberative effort, with institutional support from groups like the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, the University of Notre Dame, Religions for Peace, Columbia University, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)"--
