    Is the Greek alphabet all Greek to you? Is geometry your Achilles heel and does your knowledge of Homer have more to do with The Simpsons than the Sirens? From engineering and architecture to drama and democracy, the world around us is founded on the principles and discoveries of the Ancient World, yet our understanding of it is episodic at best. But it's never too late to learn....

    Numbers saturate the news, politics, and life. For good or ill, they are today's pre-eminent public language - and those who speak it rule. Quick and cool, numbers often seem to have conquered fact. But they are also hated, often for the same reasons. They can bamboozle not enlighten, terrorise not guide, and all too easily end up abused and distrusted. Potent but shifty, the role of numbers is frighteningly ambiguous. How can we sour our way through them? First, relax....

    Media, Markets, and Morals provides an original ethical framework designed specifically for evaluating ethical issues in the media, including new media. The authors apply their account of the moral role of the media, in their dual capacity as information providers for the public good and as businesses run for profit, to specific morally problematic practices and question how ethical behavior can be promoted within the industry.
