Harry L. Moore Bücher

In the spring and summer of 2000, geologists in Tennessee uncovered a remarkable fossil site dating back at least five million years, revealing ancient bones of tapirs, elephants, and more. Harry Moore provides an engaging firsthand account of the excavation, highlighting the dedicated team and their efforts to preserve valuable artifacts for study. The narrative includes vivid photographs capturing the excitement of the discovery and detailed descriptions of the ancient landscape, alongside the government actions taken to protect this significant archaeological find.

This book is a monograph on the moral and social implications of a utilitarian-based system of health care within the United States that recognizes and takes rights seriously. Issues such as what constitutes the good in health care, the definition of a «right» to health care, the adjudication of the theory of utilitarianism with the issue of rights, and the idea of the patient's responsibility in the context of utility and rights are critically examined. The primary intent of this book is to develop a theoretical and practical model that will address and adjudicate the internally coherent ethical theory of utilitarianism with the issue of rights while recognizing and supporting one's right to accept or reject the health care offered by such a system.
