Review # 1 was written on 2014-12-29 00:00:00 Jonathan Gould This is a fascinating little interdisciplinary volume on narrative and bioethics which grew out of 1996 meeting of the Society for Health and Human Values. The many chapters cover a variety of approaches to narrative, from critiques of purely principlist deliberation, to the use of narrative in the clinic and consultation, to literary criticism of particularly powerful works. I could see assigning several of the chapters in a class on bioethics, particularly Nelson's introduction, Arras's piece on the limits of narrative, Montello's chapter on narrative competence, and Hunter's chapter on mediating opposing maxims.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-26 00:00:00 Glenn Murphy Having been a fan of Purkiss' other works, I was predisposed to like "The Witch in History" and I was not dissappointed. The degree of scholarship and analysis present in this book makes it a must-read and a must-have for anyone interested in engaging the history of witches.
