Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book is less hefty than many ethics texts, in that the pages are more than usually broken up with tables and diagrams. This makes it more appealing to the reader and easier for quick reference for MCQ revision, rather than essay writing. I would definitely recommend it." -Black Bag. Bristol Medical School Magazine. Winter 2005
