Encyclopedia of Science Technology and Ethics (repost)

The set opens with eight introductory essays that provide an overview of key interdisciplinary ideas. The encyclopedia portion includes about 125 biographical entries in addition to topical entries. All conclude with cross-references and up-to-date bibliographies--many with separately listed Internet resources. About 300 black-and- white illustrations and photographs are scattered throughout the set. Single entries are up to eight pages long (Science, technology and literature), though some main entries are subdivided into separate articles that span a greater number of pages, such as Misconduct in science, which has four separate articles. The work concludes with several appendixes: an annotated bibliography, Internet resources, a glossary, a chronology, and reprints of various ethics codes and documents from around the world.
