Professor Simon Lee explores five acute moral dilemmas of the new millennium, each of which has caused un-ease among liberals & conservatives alike. His variation on the old adage that hard cases make bad law is to say that hard cases make for un-easy ethics. If you do not feel uneasy about your answer then you have not understood the questions posed by a series of dilemmas. First, he unravels the moral thinking behind opposing views of the case of the Siamese twins, which attracted worldwide attention in the summer & autumn of 2000, showing how the Archbishop of Westminster argued on ethical principles while the judges responded by using hypothetical 'hard cases'. Second, he explores sharply conflicting reactions to the release in the summer of 2001 of the 'child child killers' of the little boy James Bulger, asking how he find space for atonement. Third, he traces the moral dilemmas within the stop-start Northern Irish peace process which has seen so many twists & turns in the past couple of years. Fourth, he examines the ethics of business & government behaviour in the year of collapses from rural industry to Railtrack. Finally, he offers one of the first considered ethical analyses of contrasting responses to the terror attacks in the USA on 11 September 2001. Ranging across philosophy, law & theology, this analysis of hard cases & un-easy ethics culminates in a novel interpretation of politics' elusive Third Way. ...

Following the success of Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die & Unforgettable Things to Do Before You Die, ...

We only get one life so we owe it to ourselves to see as much of this beautiful world as possible. For many of us, lying on a beach for two weeks each year is just not enough any more. We want to see ancient monuments, extraordinary scenery, endangered wildlife, foreign cultures, architecture & art
- places that give us the chance to grow & expand our horizons. Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die will help you search out some of these essential destinations & experiences. International travel writer & photographer Steve Davey has drawn on his years of experience in selecting forty of his favourite places. Some, such as the Taj Mahal & the Alhambra, are relatively well-known, but most, such as the incredible temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia & the amazing sand dunes of Dead Vlei in the Namib desert, are very much off the beaten track. Some, such as Venice or New York, involve relatively comfortable journeys, whilst others present more of a challenge
- crossing the wilderness to see the rock-hewn churches at Lalibela in Ethiopia, for example, or trekking for nine days at altitude to see the stunning Himalayan scenery around Makalu in Nepal. Although there are plenty of tips for travellers, this is not a travel guide, & is certainly not definitive, but it will introduce you to a host of spectacular locations, all of which can be visited in a holiday of two weeks or less. Beautifully illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs, this is a book that will inspire you to think beyond the walls of your room & take time out to visit some of the world's truly unforgettable places.

Following the success of Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die, this is the second title in an exciting new series of books that will help you search out essential sights & experiences around the world.

In Unforgettable Things to Do Before You Die, international travel writers & photographers Steve Watkins & Clare Jones draw on their years of experience to select forty of their favourite trips of a lifetime. This book isnt a travel guide, nor is it definitive, but it will introduce you to a host of unusual & amazing activities to be done in fabulous destinations during a break of two weeks or less.

Steve & Clares diverse adventures range from searching for pearls in Tahiti, French Polynesia, & dog-sledding through the snowy landscapes of Sweden, to exploring the rainforests of Belize, & sailing down the Nile on an Egyptian felucca. For the less active explorer they offer more relaxed but equally unmissable pursuits, such as watching an opera in the ancient ruins of Verona, Italy, or wine-tasting in Bordeaux, France.

Lavishly illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs. Unforgettable Things to Do Before You Die is aimed at anyone looking for ideas for an inspirational experience of a lifetime.

The Unforgettable series has so far been published in 14 countries across Europe, Asia & America.
