This initiative was established to
introduce PHEN members to newly published books on a wide range of health
ethics topics. If you are interested in reviewing one of the available books, please
send your contact info and the name of the book to Amy Middleton at
middleton@phen.ab.ca. PHEN will mail
you a copy of the book, and you will email PHEN a copy of your review within
3 months. As a token of appreciation for your time and effort, the book will
be yours to keep. PHEN will post your review on our website as a resource
for others who are interested. (Please note that PHEN reserves the right to edit the review for clarity.)
This initiative is made possible by the generous support of Oxford University Press, Georgetown University Press, Cambridge University Press, John Hopkins University Press, Blackwell Publishing, Springer, Princeton University Press, Columbia University Press, Hart Publishing, SAGE Publications and Rodale Books, who provided us with library and review copies of the book titles listed here.
