(Wiley: Hoboken, NJ) -- If you’re like most people, the word “ethics” conjures images of dull lectures from ancient professors or long, drawn-out debates that aren’t applicable to real life. Think again: from Ponzi schemes and the fallout of blame in the BP oil spill to running a red light and downloading music on the internet, we face ethical dilemmas daily.

Ethics For Dummies, by Christopher Panza, Ph.D., and Adam Potthast, Ph.D. (Wiley Publishing, 2010), is a practical, friendly guide that takes the headache out of the often-confusing subject of ethics. It examines the controversial facets of ethical thought in plain English and explores the definition of “good” vs. “evil.” The book provides easy-to-grasp tools to tackle and understand today’s important questions and ethical dilemmas.

Other lessons include:
• Ethics 101: What It Is and Why You Should Care
• A Snapshot of Key Ethical Theories
• Applying Ethics to Real Life (Yes! Even You Can Do This)
• Ethical Dilemmas Likely to Arise in the Future (And We Aren’t Talking About Movie Plots Here!)
