"Hedges provides concise explanations of a whole host of topics-a get-started reference source to help beginners understand clearly what is involved in a prticular problem ... For the beginner, the terminology will be introduced to actively pursue other information. Recommended as a topic-starter." - Reference for Students "Unique in introducing and defining the terminology of bioethics from a legal standpoint, this dictionary's 161 entries are arranged alphabetically and range in length from several paragraphs to several pages ... The book also includes a sample living will, a table of cases, and a well-organized subject index ... The dictionary would well-serve libraries that do not own the Encyclopedia." - Choice
