The rather eclectic mixture of entries may cause library patrons to overlook some topics in this work entirely, given its title. While one expects articles such as Biological weapons; Ecological integrity; Ford Pinto case; Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Oppenheimer, J. Robert; and Social Darwinism, the average reader may not expect to find entries like Consumerism; Jefferson, Thomas; Market theory; Music; or Special effects. The authors, however, are adept at introducing an ethical dimension within their entries. They were also encouraged to let their own views be heard.
