Zusatztext It is difficult to find sufficiently comprehensive material on ethics in governance in a single volume that provides the basis for ethics education in universities or ethics training in the workplace. In Ethics Moments in Government: Cases and Controversies, Don Menzel has surpassed other efforts to date. This volume, conceived from the perspective of ethics practitioners in government rather than a scholar's theoretical preoccupations, truly provides a "one stop package for training, learning, and teaching." Its extraordinarily rich set of cases that are systematically cross indexed to concepts and problems, along with a CD containing a wide array of resource material, can equip any instructor with the essentials of an effective learning experience for those wrestling with the knotty problems of becoming and remaining ethically competent.
