Product Description
Carter, the author of The Culture of Disbelief and Reflections of an Affirmative Action Baby, turns his attention to integrity, a quality everyone wants but no one knows how to get. Carter examines integrity and its implications in arenas such as politics, the media, marriage, and sports and concludes with a brief assessment of the ideal of Christian integrity in a secular world.

Format:Paperback
Prof. Carter has engaged upon one of the most ambitious, and socially important, projects of the decade: writing a series of books outlining and explaining the essential elements of good character. Integrity is the first in the series, and it is an eye-opening examination of what integrity is and why it matters. This book should be required reading for everyone -- especially professionals, politicians and parents.
Format:Paperback
In line with his previous book, Carter writes Integrity as a "knowledge pot", mixed in with thought provoking concepts, examples and idealogy. Integrity, he depicts, is not an integral moment, but rather an integral life than spans from a personal decision (running a red light), a joint decision (marriage)to a public decision (politics). Carter's carefully selected focus on integrity will enlighten one's perspective on life as a decision; discerning, acting, and public display. I am patiently waiting for Civility, his next writing.

While some might fault Mr. Carter for missing some of the deeper philosophical ambiguities of the integrity and ethics questions, at the same time, he also misses a large segment of elitist abstract and obstruse arguments that make no impression on the normal people who are the American democracy. Mr. Carter does the nation a great service by stating the obvious (which if it was really obvious, wouldn't need stating in book length) in language that is sufficient but not difficult and using examples, that, while some might decry the close historical distance, are examples of things that are still close enough to be common knowledge, and thus, readily understandable without long explanation.
