O'Brien, Thomas and Scott Paeth (Eds.). (2007) Religious Perspectives on Business Ethics. Lanham, Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.

In the first anthology of its kind, Thomas O'Brien and Scott Paeth have gathered unique pieces from across religious perspectives to illustrate the growing influence and contribution of religion to the field of business ethics. Events in the recent past make it clear that people in business urgently need to focus on the moral dimension of practices and behaviors. Courses in business ethics are increasingly prevalent in business schools and in departments of philosophy and religious studies, and yet texts for these courses normally pay scant attention to the much-needed religious perspective on what constitutes ethical practice and behavior. O’Brien and Paeth now fill that need with this text. (From book's back cover)

“The purpose of the present volume, the first in a series on the topic of business ethics from a religious perspective, is to bring together in one book a number of excellent, recently published articles that incorporate religious perspectives into their discussion of business ethics. This reader was developed in order to simplify the process of supplementing secularized business ethics text­books with appropriate religiously oriented resources. Although we have tried to incorporate the perspectives of as many different traditions as we could, this collection of previously published articles is predominantly Christian. This apparent Christian bias is simply the result of the vast number of articles on business ethics published from this tradition, in relation to the relative dearth of materials from most other traditions. In future editions, we look forward to publishing more resources from a greater variety of traditions as these appear in the literature.” (From the Preface, p. xi)

Henderson, Hazel. (2007). Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy. Chelsea Green Publishing.

From Publishers Weekly: In this companion to the television series of the same name, economist Henderson delivers an optimistic overview of socially responsible, environmentally sensitive businesses, investors and visionaries. Keeping an eye on the “triple bottom line” that adds “people” and “planet” to the usual focus on “profits,” the book divides “cleaner, greener, more ethical and more female sectors of our U.S. economy” into three areas: lifestyles of health and sustainability, socially responsible investing and corporate social responsibility.

An economist with a long history of activism in “redefining success” (for example, revamping the GDP to include environmental capital and unpaid labor such as child-rearing), Henderson adeptly packs large amounts of information into chapters within her expertise. Discussion of topics that are further from her experience, such as green building and the health care system, tends to careen from problems to solutions so quickly that a reader can become confused. The interviews after each chapter, meant to show how CEOs are “walking the talk,” seem to be taken unedited from the TV show, coming across as incoherent and shallow. Fortunately, the book is crammed with Web references that can offer a fuller picture to readers tantalized by this glimpse of the economic revolution thriving below the radar of mainstream media.

Pojman, Louis P. and Pojman, Paul. (2007). Environmental Ethics: Readings in Theory and Application. Wadsworth Publishing, 5th edition.

The most comprehensive introduction to environmental ethics available, ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS offers students a current look at the issues and topics that dominate the field today, organized into two main parts that take students seamlessly from theory to application. This Fifth Edition of the Pojmans' popular anthology, like its predecessors, includes numerous topic areas not covered in other anthologies-including an all-new section on Climate Change. Featuring articles carefully selected for clarity and accessibility, the text follows a dialogic pro-con format presenting divergent positions on each topic, ensuring that students are both exposed to and understand both sides of every topic so they can develop their own informed positions.
