"Although the level of Almond's language is too high for many A-level students, her book makes a good revision text for more advanced candidates" Jonathan Webber, Dialogue, 1996

"This excellent, handy collection will be found useful by anyone who wants to show how philosophy is 'relevant'." Richard Ashcroft, University of Liverpool, Society for Applied Philosophy, 1996
