This book is addressed to all those with an interest in the ethical dimension of professional development. Contributors are drawn from a variety of occupational fields (academic practice, healthcare, occupational therapy, legal, military, business, research, teaching, higher education, and civil engineering), institutional contexts, and geographical regions. However, they are united in their concern for inter-professional ways of working and for developing an ethical response to the changing institutional contexts within which they operate. Practitioners, trainers and managers will find this book both useful and thought-provoking, while scholars with a particular interest in professional ethics will find it informative and insightful.

This is a book of contrasts; the reader is taken on a journey through different domains as diverse as civil spaces, the military, and healthcare, in which the role of professional ethics is explored. Other domains explored include education, the world of business, and legal practice.

If it had simply given us a careful exploration of the ways in which ethics can inform and assist professional life, this volume would have been worthwhile. But it goes much further: it both questions the limits of ethics in insisting on professional life as a set of complex practices and, against that background, intimates something of the challenges and possibilities in front of professional education. We are in the debt of Feng Su and Bart McGettrick and their distinguished international group of contributors.

These are exciting times in professional ethics. New perspectives, multicultural awareness, and a greater willingness of professions to share experiences and dilemmas with each other are all represented in this book. This collection of reflections by leaders from a variety of professions will be invaluable to professional educators.
- – Professor Tim Bond Head of the Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol
The book is written in a highly accessible style and the chapters interweave the conceptual and the practical in a way that engages the interest of the reader. It provides a valuable reminder of the central role that ethics plays in the curriculum, the shaping of professional practice and the life of the university.
