With Macmillan's initial
publication of Encyclopedia of
Bioethics in 1978 it became the
first reference to focus solely on a then burgeoning field,
in effect helping to define the discipline. Both the first and
second (1995) editions won the Dartmouth Medal, and the
set remains the standard reference on bioethics for
teachers, students, and those in related fields of health care,
philosophy, environmentalism, law, and religious studies.
Now titled Bioethics, the fourth edition offers hundreds of
revisions or addenda to entries from previous editions as
well as over 100 new or rewritten entries on topics such
as key cases in bioethics, the human biome, genetically
modified foods, emergency preparedness and response,
social justice, sustainability, chemical warfare and torture,
among many others.
