"This book will be valuable in reintroducing ethical dilemmas to the field of HPE. It should be read by a wide audience, partly because it is fascinating and partly because it serves as a prescient warning of the future weapons of modern warfare. It would be well placed as required reading in any graduate class on scientific ethics and philosophy, just as it would in courses in professional military education. Similarly, this book provides an excellent overview of present and historical HPE, and policy-makers in Canada and its allies should take the opportunity to receive a crash course on the studies underway in research organizations of NATO forces."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
