Summary

All introductory and ethics courses are taught either historically or topically with professors selecting anything from a single text to several primary source paperbacks. This text is designed for almost any student at almost any school. It addresses a topic of high interest to students and professors and is extremely timely. This text would be most likely be used in conjunction with at least one other book. Zack in particular is ideally suited for this work as she herself is of mixed race.
