"This book contains essays and emerging thoughts that grapple with fundamental questions regarding ourselves, our world and the environments in which we find ourselves.

Ethics
This book may be read continuously from start to finish and will, in itself, provide the reader with a comprehensive guide to the study of ethics. However, it can also be read as individual chapters that stand in isolation from the remainder of the book. In this way, it is possible to 'pick and choose' those areas that are pertinent to one's particular needs at the time of reading.
