Koch makes his argument \"from the ground up,\" from the perspective of average persons, and through a revealing series of maps in which issues of ethics and morality are embedded. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins with a general grounding in both moral stress and mapping as a means of investigation. The author then examines the ethical dilemmas of mapmakers and others in the popular media and the sciences, including graphic artists, journalists, researchers, and social scientists. Koch expands from the particular to the general, from mapmaker and journalist to the readers of maps and news. He explores the moral stress and injury in educational funding, poverty, and income inequality (\"Why aren't we angry that one in eight fellow citizens lives in federally certified poverty?\"), transportation modeling (seen in the iconic map of the London transit system and the hidden realities of exclusion), and U.S. graft organ transplantation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis uniquely interdisciplinary work rewrites our understanding of the nature of moral stress, distress and injury, and ethics in modern life. Written accessibly and engagingly, it transforms how we think of ethics--personal and professional--amid the often conflicting moral injunctions across modern society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopublished with Esri Press\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Koch is Adjunct Professor of Medical Geography at the University of British Columbia, a consultant in ethics and gerontology at Alton Medical Centre, Toronto, and Director of Information Outreach, Ltd.
