Reviews

Russell Hoverman combines a physicians's knowledge of the body and human suffering with a philosopher's quest for the meaning of the moral life in this sensitive and incisive account of issues in modern medicine. Readers will profit greatly from his inquiry into the meaning of human sympathy and altruism, and come away with a deepened understanding of the moral dimensions of being human. (John A. Robertson, Thomas Watt Gregory Professor, School of Law, The University of Texas at Austin) J. Russell Hoverman in 'The Landscape Within: An Inquiry on the Structure of Morality' takes us on an interesting and enlightening reconaissance mission. The application of a biologic structure to the general idea of morality both demystifies and clarifies. Precision in the definition of morality has escaped many but this work moves without hesitation into dimensions which enhance our understanding of human morality. (Barbara Jordan, Chairperson, Immigration Reform Commission)
