Summary

Moral Dilemmas Today explores the complex ethical and political landscapes surrounding pressing modern issues like abortion, euthanasia, and genetic modifications. The book avoids advocating for a singular moral position, instead promoting informed dialogue across diverse national perspectives. It examines how cultural norms, religious beliefs, and political ideologies shape approaches to these dilemmas. Did you know that countries vary significantly in their legal and ethical stances on end-of-life care, reflecting differing values regarding autonomy and the right to die? Or that advancements in gene editing technologies present both potential cures for diseases and significant ethical concerns about altering the human genome? The book begins by introducing fundamental ethical concepts, such as utilitarianism and deontology, before delving into the historical and legal contexts of each issue. Major sections are dedicated to examining the moral arguments for and against abortion, investigating ethical considerations surrounding end-of-life care, and analyzing the potential benefits and risks of genetic modifications. By presenting multiple perspectives in a balanced manner, the book equips readers with the tools to critically evaluate these complex issues and form their own informed opinions on bioethics, public policy, and social ethics. It's unique value lies in its commitment to fostering critical thinking and promoting a more nuanced understanding of the moral dilemmas that shape our world.

    Pearl of the Desert - A History...

    Palmyra has long attracted the attention of the world. Well before its rediscovery in the seventeenth century, the ancient city gained legendary status because of its Queen Zenobia, who in the third century CE rebelled against Rome and expanded Palmyra's territory into what is now modern Turkey and Egypt. 
     
     
     
    Pearl of the Desert is the most comprehensive history of this fabled ancient city in English. Assimilating the rich archaeological and literary evidence, Rubina Raja unfolds the story chronologically, from the earliest evidence of settlement in the Bronze Age to Palmyra's rise as an urban center in the late Hellenistic and Roman periods, its destruction by Rome in 273 CE, and its survival in the Byzantine and medieval Islamic periods. The book ends with a discussion of Palmyra's modern rediscovery and, more recently, its chaotic misfortunes during the Syrian civil war when it was used as a symbol of, alternately, the resistance of the rebels, the power of ISIS, and the supremacy of the Syrian state. 
     
     
     
    After several years of destruction and looting, securing of the site has begun as well as planning for its restoration. At this turning point in Palmyra's long history, there is no better time to assess the past, present, and future of this remarkable city.

    20 Myths about Religion and...

    The way most people think about religion and politics is only loosely linked to empirical reality, argues Ryan P. Burge in 20 Myths about Religion and Politics in America. Instead, our thinking is based on anecdotes, a quick scan of news headlines, or worse, flat-out lies told by voices trying to push a religious or political agenda on a distracted public. 
     
     
     
    Burge sees this fundamentally flawed understanding of the world around us and our misperceptions about where we fit into the larger fabric of society as caustic for the future of American politics and religion. Without an accurate picture of our society, when we subscribe to only caricatures of what our country looks like, we never really address the problems facing us. 
     
     
     
    Striving to be an impartial referee, Burge describes with accessible and engaging prose what the data says. Step by step, he debunks twenty myths, using rigorous data analysis and straightforward explanations. He gives listeners the resources to adopt an empirical view of the world that can help all of us, religious and nonreligious alike, get past at least some of the unsupported beliefs that divide us.
