Dear Contributors to the International Encyclopedia of Ethics, We have now reached an important milestone on the road to completing the International Encyclopedia of Ethics (IEE). We now have authors for all topics! Congratulations to everyone on this achievement, and thanks to you for your participation in this monumental project. Contracts are still in the process of being sent out contributors, but as of now all topics have authors assigned to them. This is by far the biggest and likely most important project I've worked on in my 11 years with Blackwell / Wiley-Blackwell. Attention to the importance of ethics is rapidly on the rise. In a host of professional settings and academic disciplines there are calls for improved awareness of and adherence to ethical standards, and a solid understanding of ethical theory continues to be an increasingly important part of education and professional training. I am very pleased to be involved in the creation of this comprehensive and authoritative resource, and I'm impressed by and grateful to everyone who has committed to bringing this unprecedented project off. We now enter a new phase in the publishing process. Because of the magnitude of this project, the press has to muster the energy of our production, marketing, and sales staffs at least 24 months before the encyclopedia will appear. That requires that we all work within a realistic but firm timetable for submission, review, and revision of entries. Everyone’s effort is required to bring this important work to fruition. So I urge, implore — and even beg — you to deliver your essays on time. The success of this project depends on everyone playing her or his part. Below you’ll find a full list of the Editorial Board, Review Board, the topics, and the authors contributing to the IEE. I trust you’ll agree it’s an impressive line-up, and I thank everyone again for their dedication and hard work. I am sure that the final results will be well worth it.
