Based on a proven six-step model and including examples and
questions to guide application of those timeless principles,
Curriculum Development for Medical Education is a practical
guidebook for all faculty members and administrators responsible
for the educational experiences of medical students, residents,
fellows, and clinical practitioners. Incorporating revisions driven
by calls for reform and innovations in medical education that
challenge established teaching models, the third edition includes
an awareness of new accreditation standards and regulatory
guidelines. The authors have expanded their discussion of survey
methodology for needs assessment and stress the importance of
writing competency-based goals and objectives that incorporate
milestones, entrustable professional activities, and observable
practice activities. With updated examples focusing on
interprofessional education, collaborative practice, and
educational technology, they describe educational strategies that
incorporate the new science of learning. A completely new chapter
presents the unique challenges of curriculum development for large,
long, and integrated curricula.

A collection which highlights "the range and richness of
scholarship on medieval warfare, military institutions, and
cultures of conflict that characterize the field". History 95
[2010] The journal's hallmark of a broad chronological, geographic,
and thematic coverage of the subject is underlined in this volume.
It begins with an examination of the brief but fascinating career
of an armed league of (mostly) commoners who fought to suppress
mercenary bands and to impose a reign of peace in southern France
in 1182-1184. This is followed by a thorough re-examination of
Matilda of Tuscany's defeat of Henry IV in 1090-97. Two pieces on
Hispanic topics - a substantial analysis of the remarkable military
career of Jaime I "the Conqueror" of Aragon (r. 1208-1276), and a
case study of the campaigns of a single Spanish king, Enrique II of
Castile (r. 1366-79), contributingto the active debate over the
role of open battle in medieval strategy - come next. Shorter
essays deal with the size of the Mongol armies that threatened
Europe in the mid-thirteenth century, and with a surprising
literary description, dating to 1210-1220, of a knight employing
the advanced surgical technique of thoracentesis. Further
contributions correct the common misunderstanding of the nature of
deeds of arms a outrance in the fifteenth century, and dissect the
relevance of the "infantry revolution" and "artillery revolution"
to the French successes at the end of the Hundred Years War. The
final note explores what etymology can reveal about the origins of
the trebuchet. Clifford Rogers is Professor of History, West Point
Military Academy; Kelly DeVries is Professor of History, Loyola
College, Maryland; John France is Professor of History at the
University of Swansea. Contributors: John France, Valerie Eads, Don

Human African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness is caused by
infection with the morphologically indistinguishable subspecies
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (in East and Southern Africa) and
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (in West and Central Africa). The
disease is presently almost under control and less than 4000 cases
are currently reported. In both, T. b. rhodesiense and T. b.
gambiense infection, after the injection of infective metacyclic
trypanosomes with tsetse fly vector saliva, the parasites establish
in the skin, differentiate to the bloodstream stage and spread via
the local draining lymph node into the vascular system. In this
book, Chapter One presents an overview of the current epidemiology,
clinical features, diagnosis and treatment options. Chapter Two
provides an in-depth review of diagnostic methods for African
trypanosomiasis. Chapter Three discusses the use of aminoadamantane
derivatives against Trypanosoma brucei.
Study of the 1963/4 typhoid outbreak, highlighting issues and
debates which are strikingly relevant today. The problem of food
poisoning and food-borne infections is currently one of vigorous
debate, highlighted since the 1980s by numerous outbreaks and
scares involving salmonella in lettuce and eggs, listeria in
cheese, the links between vCJD and BSE, E.Coli 0157 in cooked
meats, and foot and mouth disease. Yet, as this book shows, the
various issues involved were important as early as 1963/4, when
there were serious typhoid outbreaks in Harlow, South
Shields,Bedford, and Aberdeen, traced to contaminated corned beef
imported from Argentina. Based upon extensive research, using
archives which have only recently become available, private papers,
and interviews as well as secondary literature, the book analyses
the course of the outbreak and looks at the responses of
politicians, officials, health professionals, business interests,
the media and the public. It also considers the difficult issue of
the weighing offood safety against international trade and other
business and economic interests; conflicts between government
departments; rivalry between professionals such as doctors and
veterinarians; the effects upon and influence of victims and local
communities; and the conduct of and responses to an official
enquiry. Overall, it draws out generic lessons for how such
epidemics should be handled, adding an historical perspective to
contemporary debates.
The Isle of Sheppey in north Kent was the birthplace of aviation in
the UK and early pioneers, including the Wright Bros and Charles
Rolls, gathered on its low, flat ground to undertake experimental
flights. By 1909 the Short bros had established the first British
aircraft factory and from there events snowballed. By 1911 the
first naval aviators began training at nearby Eastchurch, which
site became the first Royal Naval Air Station. Its popular first
course had over 200 volunteers for just 4 places. The station
served with distinction in the war that soon followed, as it did
again through WW2, until its closure in the late 1940s. This year
aviation enthusiasts will flock to Sheppey to celebrate the
centenary of British aviation, enjoying the flypasts and displays
of 25 vintage aircraft and other vehicles. This book serves as a
timely reminder of the island's great contribution to the story of
flight in the UK.
