College Text book

Delivered as promised and since my daugheter has not called to complain I presume it was the correct book.

Great Reading Selections

There is not much to say. For those who want to teach Ethics and want a textbook of the most important readings on the subject, or if you want to read some points of view on Ethics, this is the book for you.I like the way it distinguishes between Metaethics, Normative Ethics and Applied Ethics.... I really recommend this book.Though, I really missed the Rowe vs. Wade decision in the part about abortion, and also I missed some reading selection of analytic philosophy of G. E. More.
