✦ Synopsis

to previous arbitration decisions. An interesting but very brief section of the chapter considers the weight given to medical opinion in arbitration decisions. The author holds that medical opinion must be considered in conjunction with other types of information, and that, in general, greater weight is given to physicians' reports containing facts and findings than the expression of medical opinion.

Overall, the book appears to be a worthwhile addition to the safety and health professional's library. Those seeking a comprehensive sourcebook or handbook, however, may need to look to other texts.
