Missing Ethics

... ethics books are more likely to be stolen than non-ethics books in philosophy (looking at a large sample of recent ethics and non-ethics books from leading academic libraries). Missing books as a percentage of those off shelf were 8.7% for ethics, 6.9% for non-ethics, for an odds ratio of 1.25 to 1.

Stop Now

Note to self:

I may soon be (for the first time in my life) a student with a decent income, but this will only be temporary.  It does not mean I can continue to worship the book delivering entity that is Amazon.  That way lies poverty and no room to move in my overflowing room. 2-3,000 books is enough.  Isn't it?
