TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of sib size, birth order and possession of older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers, or younger sisters on first marriage formation in Japan were investigated.
Abstract: This study attempts to clarify the effects of sib size, birth order and the possession of older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers, or younger sisters on first marriage formation in Japan Twelve sociological, demographic and psychological hypotheses are presented and examined with regard to their effects on three outcomes in each age segment: getting married through arranged marriage, getting married through love marriage and staying never-married P Allison's discrete-time event-history analysis (using multinomial logit model) is applied to the merged data of never-married and first-married persons aged 18-34 from the 1982 national fertility survey conducted by the Institute of Population Problems in order to simultaneously examine the effects of sibling configuration on both the timing and the two mate selection methods of first marriage (first marriage probability by mate selection method) as well as the effects of interaction of a set of sibling configuration variables with another set, age, and prenuptial living arrangements The results seem to support the Parental Control Hypothesis and the Acquaintance Opportunity Hypoth esis for both sexes and the Normative Order Hypothesis for females Other hypotheses including the Household Crowding Hypotheses and the Demand for Children Hypothe sis also seem to have limited support

TL;DR: This is an important book, deserving to be read by historians of politics and of the state as well as of medicine, for there is much still to be done on the activities of coroners, the political uses of inquests, and the changing political and jurisprudential role of expertise in the development of the modern state.
Abstract: coroners and juries. Even within the medical profession, there was disagreement whether medical knowledge should come from a practitioner acquainted with the victim during life or from a specialist who knew only the dead body. As Burney shows through an ingenious discussion of the tools of post-mortem examination, the more sophisticated and specialized the medical intervention became, the more it tended to bypass the lay jury, while a less sophisticated approach could seem superfluous. And to many, medicine was hardly neutral: there was worry about doctor-coroners seeking to increase their incomes by performing unnecessary inquests or seeking to satisfy their curiosity in postmortems. In most respects, the popular tribunal of the inquest did succumb to expertise. Major towns built facilities for the conduct of post-mortems and employed specialist pathologists who carried out their examinations away from public view. It became unnecessary for the jury even to view the body. Ironically, by the end of the period, the surgical theatre, a medical institution, had replaced the prison and the workhouse as a key site of vulnerability, a place where death required public explanation. Deaths under anaesthesia were the great concern. The inquest would represent the interests of the anaesthetized patient, who (undergoing surgery in a nonpublic space) was in no position to exert his or her will; it served equally as an essential means of public vindication of those who had carried out the surgery. This is an important book, deserving to be read by historians of politics and of the state as well as of medicine. It should stimulate research, for there is much still to be done on the activities of coroners, the political uses of inquests, and the changing political and jurisprudential role of expertise in the development of the modern state.
