Ugh. This book was poorly edited and poorly worded. It skipped all over the place and could have been written more clearly.

Alright for a textbook :)

There was some useful knowledge in here, but many of the cases were quite puerile. If you were raised ethically, then you'll get what you're supposed to do without being told. If you weren't, you aren't going to get it.
