"Held by Chinese Brigands" is one of the more popular adventure stories for boys in the genre of imperial fiction popular at the time of publishing in 1921. The setting is South China and the action follows the adventures of the British heroes Frank Armitage and Sir Thomas Armitage along with Mr Hennessy K. Waldron, of Paradise City, Nevada, U.S.A who battle with the Brigand Cheong-Chau in a tale of high adventure in the Far East.

"THE LAW-SCIENCE CHASM" is a socio-legal study that takes seriously the varying approaches to science that physicians and scientists use, as compared to legal actors such as judges and lawyers. Offering a way to mediate and translate their different perspectives and assumptions, Gilson uses sociological and philosophical methodologies to explain each discipline to the other.

"Gilson's book takes seriously the idea of the autopoietic closure of society's communicative subsystems and works out the consequences in particular for science and law. This analysis both lends support to the credibility of the approach adopted and sheds light on the problems and the direction in which potential solutions might lie.... The book consequently makes an important contribution not only to the literature dealing with the relationship between science and law but also to the literature dealing with the application of autopoietic systems theory to tangible concerns. This book is therefore of clear significance to those continuing to wrestle with the challenges thrown up by science for law and policy even when the spotlight of public attention is directed elsewhere."
