2.		Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $12.89 Customer Review: MY RATING SYSTEM: * - if you have to chose between torture and reading this book, then you might want to consider reading the book - although it depends on just how severe the torture would be. ** - if you've lost your job and have quite a bit of free time on your hands, and don't have... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Women and Human Development from Cambridge University Press Price: $21.45 Customer Review: I recommend everyone read this book! Nussbaum, indebted to Aristotle, provides a solution to the problems of globalization that allows an individual to flourish, but do so in her own way--that is, she walks a very fine line between universalism (human flourishing) and relativism (respecting one's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Frontiers of Justice: Disability, Nationality, Species Membership (The Tanner Lectures on Human Values) from Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Price: $13.00 Customer Review: Martha Nussbaum has delivered another thought-provoking book, this time applying her "capabilities" approach to questions on disability, national identity, and obligations to non-humans.

5.		For Love of Country? from Beacon Press Price: $6.00 Customer Review: The book consists of an essay that promotes transnational identity over "patriotism".

6.		Sex and Social Justice from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $24.00 Customer Review: I will start this review by noting two things. I greatly appreciated Nussbaum's 'Upheavals of Thought', and I am uncomfortable with the way sex sits in the society I live in.

7.		The Fragility of Goodness: Luck and Ethics in Greek Tragedy and Philosophy from Cambridge University Press Price: $24.32 Customer Review: I am not a classics scholar, so I am not fit to judge the opinions of others stated here that Nussbaum 'misreads' the works of ancient philosophers.
