This collection of essays makes very interesting reading, reminding us of the ubiquity of modeling in our lives today and of the ethical considerations required of modelers and statisticians. Journal of the American Statistical Association T.G. Groleau, Bethel College, Indiana In summary, Ethics in Modeling does a good job of unveiling the ethical aspects of modeling and covers ethics from many angles. While most chapters would be beyond the grasp of the average undergraduate, they could make good background for a graduate seminar. The book is thought provoking and, at times, deeply philosophical. Anyone doing active modeling research would benefit by taking some time to dwell on these issues.Wallace, William A. is the author of 'Ethics in Modeling' with ISBN 9780080419305 and ISBN 0080419305.
