{"product_id":"9780080461120","title":"Agriculture's Ethical Horizon","description":"What are the goals of agricultural science?  What should the goals of agricultural science be?  How do and how should the practitioners of agriculture address complex ethical questions?  These questions are explored in this monumental book so that those in agriculture will begin an open dialoge on the ethics of agriculture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscussion of foundational values, of why we practice agriculture as we do, should become a central, rather than peripheral, part of agricultural practice and  education.  If agricultural scientists do not venture forth to understand and shape the ethical base of the future, it will be imposed by others.  Largely autobiographical, this book covers topics such as scientific truth and myth, what agricultural research should be done, an introduction to ethics, moral confidence in agriculture, the relevance of ethics to agriculture, sustainability, and biotechnology.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by an expert who has been engaged in agricultural education and research for over 35 years \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContent is easily understandable by non-philosophers \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe concepts of scientific truth and myth are contrasted and compared \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter sidebars highlight important concepts and can be used to engage students in further discussion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47105867972848,"sku":"9780080461120","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080461120_p0.jpg?v=1763637143","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080461120","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
