The question is: What kind of world do we want to live in? The question appears time and again in the pages that follow. It is not a trifling one. We make the world we live in one act and one decision at a time, small and not so small. Few of us pause long enough to think deeply as we go about our everyday lives, busily meeting our everyday needs. It has taken far longer than it should have, but finally the field of applied ethics has expanded its horizons to return to the teaching of ethics across the age spans of elementary school-age children. In the early to mid-1800s, William Holmes McGuffey created a series of books (McGuffey’s Readers) that taught character development lessons to lay a foundation of moral and ethical precepts in very young hearts. Several generations of teachers fed the lessons of the Readers into several generations of their students, only to find their Readers falling into subsequent disuse. We are returning to the old to do something new.
Taking ethics education farther and farther back into younger and younger student cohorts is no longer out of fashion. Philosopher ethicists are stepping out of their academic ivory towers to create new and innovative age-correlated ethics teaching resources.
Education has gotten increasingly technical to the abandonment of the ethical. But all is not lost. Research in early childhood development shows that kids as young as two years old possess rudimentary forms of “morality” relating to judgements such as good/bad, right/wrong, and fair/unfair, among others. As publications multiply, focusing on the expanding domain of applied ethics, educational resources are needed to assist teachers in their classroom ethics teaching activities. Today, more than ever, we need resources to raise ethically minded adults-in-the-making able to stand well above today’s cultural currents, see dangers, and make fine-grained decisions as to the right and wrong of things.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Kennys Bookstore, Olney, Maryland, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
