QUOTE FROM REVIEWER: There is probably no bioethicist in the world that has the same global insight in bioethics as Henk ten Have, in terms of neglected/important topics, centers of expertise around the world, qualified contributors in other countries and overall management of a project such as this one (Jos Welie, review report on the proposal for the Encyclopedia of Global Bioethics).
