The second edition of The Human Rights Reader presents a dramatically revised organization and updated selections, including pieces on globalization and the war on terrorism. Each part of the Reader corresponds to five historical phases in the history of human rights and explores for each the arguments, debates, and issues of inclusiveness central to those eras. This edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of essays, speeches, and documents from historical and contemporary sources, all of which are now placed in context with Micheline Ishay’s substantial introduction to the reader as a whole and valuable introductions to each part and chapter.

I purchased this book for a class I am taking. I was very surprised and happy with the contents. It offers a reasonably balanced perspective (besides the slight Marxist leaning) and I have enjoyed reading it. The book compares early philosophy and religious teaching, as well as Eastern thought in a very unique way. Not exactly pleasure reading, but if you pair it with an excellent professor you have a very fine education.
good
book was perfectly fine and came with baseball cards in it. as well as a mystery!
