South African playwright Hannah Meade arrives in London for the
opening night of her new play. She has arranged to meet Pierre, the
student she was in love with when she taught English in Paris. During
their time together, they lied their way towards truths they were too
young and inexperienced to endure. Perhaps this time they will have a
second chance.
As the reader is drawn from contemporary London back to Paris
on the eve of the war in Iraq, the mystery of past events is brought to
vivid life in a series of dramatic, intriguing and deeply moving
encounters. Written in layered, stark prose, The White Room lays bare
many of our assumptions about language, identity, memory, loss and
love.
‘Craig Higginson is at the vanguard of the latest and most exciting
novelists in South Africa, both robust and sensitive, offering a barometer
of the best to be expected from the newest wave of writing in the
country.’ – André Brink
‘In its conception and execution, The White Room is remarkable ...
Evocative and dreamlike, yet all too nightmarishly real, this is a story so
moving that it leaves a powerful afterimage on the reader’s
imagination.’ – Craig Mackenzie

Student feedback has appeared in the forefront of higher education
quality, in particular the issues of effectiveness and the use of
student feedback to improve higher education teaching and learning,
and other areas of student tertiary experience. Despite this,
little academic literature has focussed on the experiences of
academics, higher education leaders and managers. The final title
in the Chandos Learning and Teaching Series to focus on student
feedback, Enhancing Learning and Teaching through Student Feedback
in the Medical and Health Sciences expands on topics covered in the
previous publications, focussing on the medical and health science
disciplines. This edited title includes contributions from experts
in higher education quality, and student feedback from a range of
countries, such as Australia, Europe, Canada, the USA, the UK,
South East Asia and India. The book is concerned with the practices
of evaluation and higher education quality in medical and health
science disciplines, with particular focus on student feedback. The
book begins by giving a discipline-specific overview of student
feedback in medical and health sciences, before moving on to take a
global perspective. The penultimate chapter considers the
accountability of student evaluations in health and medical
sciences, before a conclusion summarises the practices of student
feedback and accountability in medical and health sciences, and
suggests future improvements.

Urolithiasis, or stone disease occurs in 7% of women and 12% of
men at some point, and these statistics are rising. Furthermore,
for those who form a stone, the likelihood of a recurrence is
nearly 50% within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore, the need
for effective, minimally invasive alternatives for stone
eradication and prevention is critical. Because stone disease
comprises a large part of any urologist s practice, a thorough
knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease
is critical in order to understand and implement treatment
strategies to prevent stone formation. Likewise, a working
knowledge of the surgical treatments, instrumentation and outcomes
is necessary to arm patients with sufficient information to make an
informed decision and to provide the appropriate treatment modality
for a given stone situation. In Urolithiasis: Medical and Surgical
Management, the authors provide a complete guide to the management
of stone disease from both a medical and surgical prospective. This
book should be an invaluable resource for those who treat stone
disease in any capacity, whether surgically or medically, acutely
or long-term.
