On May 13-15, 1982, some 50 scientists and scholars - physicians,
philos ophers and social scientists - convened at Hasselby Castle
in Stockholm for the first Nordic Symposium on the Philosophy of
Medicine. The topics for the symposium included (1) the concepts of
health and disease, (2) classification in medicine, and (3)
causality and causal explanations in medicine. The majority of the
participants were Scandinavian but the symposium was also able to
welcome four distinguished guests from other parts of the world,
Professors Stuart F. Spicker and H. Tristram Engelhardt, Jr.,
U.S.A., Dr Anne M. Fagot, France, and Dr Werner Morbach, West
Germany. The latter represented Professor Kazem Sadegh-zadeh, who
unfortunately was prevented from attending. One of the main
purposes of this symposium was to bring together people in
Scandinavia who at present work within the field of Philosophy of
Medi cine. This group is still relatively small but is growing
rapidly, and the scholarly activity has recently been notable. This
fact is clearly demonstrated by the presentation of 'Philosophy of
Medicine in Scandinavia' in the Appendix of this volume."

*Telling tales about men* explores some of the ways in which
conscientious objectors to compulsory military service were viewed
and treated in England during the First World War. In doing so it
considers these men's experiences, their beliefs, perceptions and
actions. This volume will be essential reading for scholars in the
fields of the First World War, pacifism, militarism and gender. It
is also aimed at those with a general interest in the Great War and
the military as well as in peace movements and pacifism. -- .
*Telling tales about men* explores some of the ways in which
conscientious objectors to compulsory military service were viewed
and treated in England during the First World War. In doing so it
considers these men's experiences, their beliefs, perceptions and
actions. Each of the six main chapters explores a different
collection of ideas about objectors. Thus, they are, for example,
portrayed as cowards, heroes, traitors, patriots, criminals,
deviants, degenerates and upstanding, intensely moral men. Here the
tales told draw upon sources ranging from diaries, government
papers, tribunal records, newspapers, magazines and novels and are
informed by writings from fields including literary studies,
criminology, sociology and law as well as various branches of
historical studies. *Telling tales about men* is essential reading
for scholars in the fields of the First World War, pacifism,
militarism and gender. It is also aimed at those with a general

Binding Men tells stories about men, violence and law in late
Victorian England. It does so by focusing upon five important legal
cases, all of which were binding not only upon the males involved
but also upon future courts and the men who appeared before them.
The subject matter of Prince (1875), Coney (1882), Dudley and
Stephens (1884), Clarence (1888) and Jackson (1891) ranged from
child abduction, prize-fighting, murder and cannibalism to
transmitting gonorrhoea and the capture and imprisonment of a wife
by her husband. Each case has its own chapter, depicting the events
which led the protagonists into the courtroom, the legal outcome
and the judicial pronouncements made to justify this, as well as
exploring the broader setting in which the proceedings took place.
In so doing, Binding Men describes how a particular case can be
seen as being a part of attempts to legally limit male behaviour.
The book is essential reading for scholars and students of crime,
criminal law, violence, and gender. It will be of interest to those
working on the use of narrative in academic writing as well as
legal methods. Binding Men's subject matter and accessible style
also make it a must for those with a general interest in crime,
history and, in particular, male criminality.

This work is intended as a supplement to textbooks on undergraduate
courses as well as a core text for a specialist course on law and
gender, advanced criminal law and postgraduate courses. Although
the book is intended primarily for teaching purposes, it is
sufficiently challenging to advance feminist critique of criminal
law.

This anonymous Commentary is printed from Troyes, Bibl. munic. 658,
a manuscript written at Clairvaux in the late 12th century.It is
well known that St Bernard in 1147 revised the monastic hymnal for
the use of his Cistercian monks; the anonymous Explanatio is
primary evidence for the content of Bernard's hymnal. It is also an
invaluable index of Cistercian spirituality in the late 12th
century, and provides an index of the range of reading of a
Cistercian scholar of that time.
