"The stories recounted by Ekkehard IV in his Fortune and Misfortune at Saint Gall (Casus sancti Galli) have given shape and color to much of what we know about medieval monks and the wider world beyond their monastery. In his preface, Ekkehard stated that he would record "fortunate and unfortunate events that happened at the monastery of Saint Gall and Saint Otmar," repeating the words fortunia et infortunia three times in the same introductory passage. In the preface, Ekkehard also warned his audience that tracing the changing fortunes of his monastery would be a difficult task because that would touch upon the controversial subject of monastic discipline. Here Ekkehard introduced a theme that he and his fellow monks found vitally important because of the issues lying at the heart of monastic reform. From the very beginning, Ekkehard expressed his disapproval of the reform movement. In the Casus Ekkehard only hinted at contemporary debates and figures, but he was more outspoken when adding notes in the margins of manuscripts. For Ekkehard, the major issue at stake was the understanding of monastic discipline as dictated by the Rule of Benedict, and in broader terms, the nature and meaning of monastic life in its relationship to the world outside"--

'It is refreshing to see a book on bioethics that is both comprehensive and easily readable. This is a case-based book packed with high-quality information … clever combination of academic material with practical case studies has resulted in a remarkably powerful and user-friendly book. It will probably succeed in making you at least try to think ethically.' Doctor 'This is a book with a great deal to commend it. The discussions are enlivened by an excellent panel of contributors, and the format is engaging.' Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine 'This is a text which has benefited from the input of many people in its preparation. it is easy to read, and full of interesting and engaging reflective activities … The early chapters are collected in a Part 1 entitled Ethical Issues Raised by Developments in Modern Medicine. Part II, entitled Vulnerability, Truth-telling, Competence and Confidentiality, is a collection of chapters on long-term care, mental health, the elderly, and children. The excellent section on children is one of the strengths of the book. Here, the ethics issues are discussed, and cases are presented which acknowledge the child's personal, family, social and medical context.' Monash Bioethics Review 'The style encourages readers to work through subjects and deliberate on issues raised and apply this to their own situations. Due to its flexibility, readers with little previous knowledge will benefit … an excellent resource for introducing ethics to medical students.' Palliative Medicine 'The editors of this Cambridge workbook should be congratulated for its success in rendering medical ethics lively, enticing, and user-friendly … this book should entice not only clinicians and health care professionals who have a special interest in biomedical ethics, but selected chapters will also be useful for postgraduate training in internal medicine, paediatirics, psychiatry and, above all, medical research.' Hong Kong Medical Journal 'As might be expected from a Cambridge University Press Workbook this is a very professional, clear and competent piece of work. Overall this should be a very useful Workbook to use the medical students and health-care workers who are being introduced to medical ethics for the first time. It is reliable, easy to use and provides a full bibliography of other resources.' Addition Biology 7 'The style of the book with its case studies, vignettes, ethical debate and topic selection, suits many educational scenarios … a book like this will be of major assistance in helping individuals and organisation, in a stimulating, enabling and facilitating manner, to improve prevalent standards of clinical practice.' D. Pritchard

Western medicine - especially in contrast with no-Western traditions of medical practice - is widely thought of as a coherent and unified field in which beliefs, definitions, and judgments are shared. Marc Berg and Annemarie Mol debunk this myth with an interdisciplinary and intercultural collection of essays that reveals the significantly varied ways practitioners of 'conventional' Western medicine handle bodies, study test results, configure statistics, and converse with patients. Combining theoretical work with interviews and direct observation of the activities and interactions of doctors, nurses, technicians, and patients, the contributors to this volume provide comparative studies of specific cases. Individual chapters explore topics such as the contested domain of fetal surgery in a California hospital, the construction of gender identity before transsexual surgery in Germany, and differences in the treatment and definition of pain by two clinics in France. 'Differences in Medicine' advances earlier studies on medicine's social diversity and regional variations to expose significant differences in the presumptions and decisions that affect patients' lives, and marks a dramatic development in both the study of medicine and in science studies generally. Revealing the ways in which the bodies and lives of people are constructed as medical objects by practitioners, technologies, and textbooks, this collection calls for and initiates new, more textured theories of the body and investigations in medicine and the practice of science. Marc Berg is a researcher at the School of Health Sciences at Maastricht University. Annemarie Mol is Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Twente.
