Bottomfeeder: How to Eat Ethically in a World of Vanishing Seafood
An eye-opening look at aquaculture that does for seafood what Fast Food Nation did for beef. Dividing his sensibilities between Epicureanism and ethics, Taras Grescoe set out on a nine-month, worldwide search for a delicious—and humane—plate of seafood. What he discovered shocked him. From North American Red Lobsters to fish farms and research centers in China, Bottomfeeder takes readers on an illuminating tour through the $55-billion-dollar-a-year seafood industry. Grescoe examines how out-of-control pollution, unregulated fishing practices, and climate change affect what ends up on our plate. More than a screed against a multibillion-dollar industry, however, this is also a balanced and practical guide to eating, as Grescoe explains to readers which fish are best for our environment, our seas, and our bodies. At once entertaining and illuminating, Bottomfeeder is a thoroughly enjoyable look at the world’s cuisines and an examination of the fishing and farming practices we too easily take for granted. .

The Moral Atheist - Living Ethically Without God, Gods or Demons
The Moral Atheist argues in non-technical terms that ‘being moral’ is compatible with ‘being an atheist’, but goes further to suggest that there is more harmony between these two notions than there is between ‘being moral’ and ‘being a theist’. Using reason, semantics and common sense, Tomlinson makes the case that, first, the non-existence of a god does not imply that there is no discoverable objective morality and that, second, without the belief in a god there are still excellent reasons for the atheist and everyone else to strive to be a good person. The book presents a practical and objective ethical system that reflects how language is used in everyday communication. Along the way the reader explores important philosophical insights while gaining an appreciation for the way that philosophy is actually done. Tomlinson has been an instructor of Philosophy at California State University, Northridge for thirty-three years..

How do the grand stories of Israel and her heroes, as well as the many seemingly mundane incidents found in these narrative stories, help guide today's readers in their daily behavior?

Do the Right Thing: Living Ethically in an Unethical World
Philosophy and psychology have always been interwoven; the structure of our ideas and the function of our minds impel one another to color and shape our perceptions of the world around us. Few things will provide for good mental health better than the satisfaction of knowing that the choices you make are ethically sound. This remarkable book, written by an esteemed psychologist and ethicist from Santa Clara and Stanford universities, explores the process that underlies the hard choices we make and describes a system that anyone can use to do the right thing in his or her daily life. The book begins with one of the finest concise introductions to ethical systems ever written for general audiences. Then it describes the "ICRRC" system of ethical processing, in which integrity, competence, responsibility, respect, and concern are considered to establish a rationale for making any decision. The engaging and readable text is enriched with anecdotes and step-by-step exercises that reinforce the strategies of each chapter..
