In Wired to Care, top business strategist Dev Patnaik tells the story of how organizations of all kinds prosper when they tap into a power each of us already has: empathy, the ability to reach outside of ourselves and connect with other people. When people inside a company develop a shared sense of what's going on in the world, they see new opportunities faster than their competitors. They have the courage to take a risk on something new. And they have the gut-level certitude to stick with an idea that doesn't take off right away. People are "Wired to Care," and many of the world's best organizations are, too.

The author is a medical practitioner who holds a law degree. He is anassociate professor of Forensic Medicine at Monash Universityand deputydirector of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine. Thus he is eminentlyqualified to write this book.

students who anticipate giving expert evidence in legal proceedings on aregular basis. It is not a diagnostic text of conditionsthat medicalpractitioners encounter and give evidence about. The objective of the book, asstated in its preface, is to pro-videgeneral background material on the aspectsof the law that most affect the practice of forensic medicine and to pro-videguidanceon some of the major tasks that are required of forensic medicalpractitioners. It achieves its objective admirably and goes someway further inthat medicos in their forensic practice might find it beneficial to elevate the"guidance" provided to the statusof rules that should be followed in thenormal course.

Chapter 1 is entitled "The Legal System" and Chapter 3 "Court Procedure andEvidence". These chapters provide a succinct outlineof the court systemand process. Even law students may find that they gain a better basicunderstanding of the way the legal systemoperates by reading the 32 pages inthese chapters than by digesting more voluminous material on the samesubject.

Chapter 4, entitled "The Medical Witness", deals with preparation forgiving evidence, demeanour as a witness and the presentationof evidence.Litigation lawyerswill applaud its emphasis on the appearance of thewitness and the manner in which the witnessgives evidence, given thatappearance and presentation may be as significant to the outcome of a case asthe actual evidence thewitness gives.

Although the focus of the book is on medical practitioners, Chapters 1, 3 and4 would be useful to other professionals who anticipategiving expert evidence.The specific guidance provided in Chapter 4 can be adapted to expert witnessesin other fields.

The book does not address topical forensic issues, nor does it refer to caselaw or legislation in those areas. Consequently lawyerswho grapple with thoseissues will not find assistance in the book. This is not meant to be a criticismas that is not the book'sobjective.

This collection of articles focuses on the previously unacknowledged role ofwomen in the making of the Australian Constitutionand on the ways inwhich the Constitution itself has affected the nature and extent ofparticipation by women in the formalprocesses of legislating andgoverning.

The idea for the book emerged from a conference, 'Women and Federation", heldin 1994 in Hay, the NSW town where the recently rediscoveredWomen's FederalLeague was established in 1899. The contributors to this volume are mostlyhistorians and constitutionallawyers, and the book is a tribute to thenew perspectives such cross-fertilisation of the disciplines can produce.

Given the intrinsic interest of this book and the interaction betweenhistorians and lawyers that gave rise to its publication, itis a pity thatthere is no introductory or concluding chapter that links some of theconclusions and draws attention to avenues forfurther research. One possibilitythat springs to mind is to link the largely peripheral role of women inthe writing of theConstitution, as well as the problem of the grossunder-representation of women in a legislative system based on the principle ofrepresentativedemocracy, with the eager and widespread participation of womenin diverse extraparliamentary political pressure groups such as theAustralianWomen's National League, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, theCountry Women's Association andthe Housewives' Associations. Was it thatwomen felt welcome and empowered in these organisations whereas theywere madeto feel alien, uncomfortable and ineffectual in the halls ofParliament?

As Pat Grimshaw's chapter so clearly indicates, this experience of ostracismand belated inclusion as citizens has even greater relevancefor the politicalresponses of Aborigines in the wake of their specific exclusion from the mostbasic right of citizenship, the vote- an exclusion that, ironically but quiteconsciously, was made law in the very Act that gave all white Australian womenthe franchisefor the commonwealth legislature in 1902. The issue of gender inthe Constitution was thus fractured by race from the very beginning. Althoughthese matters could well have been explicitly raised and discussedby theeditor of this volume, it is a tribute to her and to the othercontributors that the quality of their discussion hasbrought old debatesto life and provoked timely new questions.
