Opis

As Deborah L. Rhode explains in this wide-ranging work, the American public has long insisted on the central importance of character, but has failed to adequately nurture and sustain it in families, schools, law, and politics. All too often, our understandings of character are out of step with psychological research and fundamental values.

Recenzje

... the book is well-researched and supported by scientific studies, which lends credibility to Rhode's conclusions ... she presents readers with several ways in which character affects legal and political decisions that people may not routinely consider. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in why character matters in modern American society, and especially to those with professional interests in law, politics and justice.
