Ethics: A Pluralistic Approach to Moral Theory, 5th ed.
Cengage Learning, 2012
ISBN-10: 1133050018

In addition to covering all the standard topics, this book was, I think, the first in which an ethical theory book to consider Islam, the Navajo religion, and Buddhism. It was one of the earliest with a sympathetic discussion of the ethics of diversity, a topic now spanning two chapters. The concluding chapter is devotedto applying ethical theories to abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty.

Contemporary Moral Issues is distinctive in several ways: narrative selections for all issues; a diverse range of moral voices; an emphasis on seeking common ground; selections from notable contemporary authors such as Jonathan Safran Foer, Atul Gawande, E. O., Wilson, Sr. Helen Prejean, and Stehen Carter; new sections on Black Lives Matter and police ethics, contraception, gene editing (CRISPR), and more.
The New York Times has produced what it is calling "The Most Detailed Map of Gay Marriage in America." The image below is a screenshot of this map, but not interactive. Please go to the NYT site for both the article and the interactive map. This is a superb map, allowing almost county-by-county data through the use of three-digit zip code tracking.
