"Although the level of Almond's language is too high for many A-level students, her book makes a good revision text for more advanced candidates." Jonathan Webber, Dialogue, 1996

"This excellent, handy collection will be found useful by anyone who wants to show how philosophy is 'relevant'." Richard Ashcroft, University of Liverpool, Society for Applied Philosophy, 1996

"This volume provides a most valuable collection of articles arranged in five sections dealing with family relationships, the professions, crime and punishment, economics and politics, and international and global dimensions. The contributors are leading philosophers and ethicists. There can be few better ways of approaching such a wide range of issues." The Expository Times
