"This book is a wonderful combination: it has the depth of an important contribution to the literature of applied ethics and the relevance and usefulness of an ethics training manual. Lewis really knows how to get down to cases. The provocative cases, taken from real sources and unfailingly illustrating key ethical points, would be reason enough to read this book. Lewis has a light and deft touch with what could be ponderous material, and her wonderful sense of humor shines through in unexpected ways."?Bayard Catron, professor of public administration, George Washington University (Bayard Catron, professor of public administration, George Washington University)
