Although chemistry has been the target of numerous public moral debates for over a century, there is still no academic field of ethics of chemistry to develop an ethically balanced view of the discipline. And while ethics courses are increasingly demanded for science and engineering students in many countries, chemistry is still lagging behind because of a lack of appropriate teaching material. This volume fills both gaps by establishing the scope of ethics of chemistry and providing a cased-based approach to teaching, thereby also narrating a cultural history of chemistry.

 

From poison gas in WWI to climate engineering of the future, this volume covers the most important historical cases of chemistry. It draws lesson from major disasters of the past, such as in Bhopal and Love Canal, or from thalidomide, Agent Orange, and DDT. It further introduces to ethical arguments pro and con by discussing issues about bisphenol-A, polyvinyl chloride, and rare earth elements; as well as of contested chemical projects such as human enhancement, the creation of artificial life, and patents on human DNA. Moreover, it illustrates chemical engagements in preventing hazards, from the prediction of ozone depletion, to Green Chemistry, and research in recycling, industrial substance substitution, and clean-up. Students also learn about codes of conduct and chemical regulations.

 

An international team of experts narrate the historical cases and analyse their ethical dimensions. All cases are suitable for undergraduate teaching, either in classes of ethics, history of chemistry, or in chemistry classes proper.

Our Dog Loved These To Death
Style: 5 pcs Crinkle Plush Dog Toy
Our dog is The Toy Destroyer. These came up in a search for "heavy duty" and "durable" dog chew toys. They're nicely made, actually pretty, no stuffing to fly around the house. She loved them. Each one had to be shaken, "killed" and chewed. Only problem is they are lightweight - she got them ripped open quickly. Fortunately, she still enjoyed trotting them around and shaking them after she'd turned them into rags.

Good toy for dogs
Size: Large Size 3, Color: White-Blue
Bought this for our husky. Thought it would be bigger but it’s a good size for her. She has not managed to tear it apart after having it for a few months.

Puppy proof!
Size: Large Size 3, Color: White-Blue
Purchased the blue ball. Puppy loves to carry and shake the ball with the strapes in her mouth. Lots of bite marks but hasnt popped it. We bought 2. She plays in her fenced in yard with them. Fun to throw and kick around.

Great Toy For Playful Pup
Size: Medium Size 2, Color: White-Blue
We have purchased three of these! Our dog is obsessed with them and they keep her very entertained. The strap is a great tool for her to easily pick up the ball.
