Elements of African Bioethics in a Western Frame

ISBN: 9781874719670 / Angielski / Twarda / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Planning Ethics
ISBN: 9780882851518 / Angielski / Miękka / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past fifty years professional understanding of planning has changed markedly.

Not surprisingly, planners' discussions of ethics have evolved. Professional ethics is regarded by many planners to be limited to a set of rules of behavior regarding interactions with the public,...
