Reviews
"...a resource suitable for a course in research ethics and would also be helpful for those starting a career in clinical research. It is an accessible synthesis and discussion of the many facets of research ethics-- a massive undertaking, as its size indicates. Scholars and students will find the book valuable, but it is also an important resource for those already conducting clinical research as investigators (or those contemplating becoming investigators), as well as for research team members, reviewers, sponsors, research advocacy groups, and regulators...This book is a gem. The editors have admirably met their goal of producing a book that is comprehensive, that provides a systematic analysis, and that does so from a multicultural approach."--New England Journal of Medicine
