POV: "Sumner is the author of four books, including Welfare, Happiness and Ethics, the most sophisticated philosophical discussion of the nature and normative importance of welfare since James Griffin's Well-Being, and, to this date, the best book-length publication on the topic."

I qualified the statement, and removed the POV tag. Sir Paul 20:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am a big fan of WHE, and in fact I came to this page while I was preparing to cite it... wanted to make sure that I had his first name correct. But a description of the book as the best on the subject is out of place in an encyclopedia article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.129.166 (talk) 11:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
