This series is for the Cambridge International AS History syllabus
(9489) for examination from 2021. Written by an experienced author
team that includes examiners, a practising teacher and trainer,
this coursebook supports the Cambridge International AS History
syllabus. With increased depth of coverage, this coursebook helps
build confidence and understanding in language, essay-writing and
evaluation skills. It develops students' conceptual understanding
of history with the five new 'Key concepts', for example exploring
similarity and difference in the aims/achievements of Witte and
Stolypin. In addition, it encourages individuals to make
substantiated judgments and reflect on their learning. Students can
consolidate their skills though exam-style questions with source
material and sample responses.

It is commonly accepted that "exercise is good for children" but,
considering the number of children worldwide exercising, we know
comparatively little, compared to adults, about how specific
mechanisms influence health and sports performance. There are
considerable obstacles that challenge the progress of paediatric
research, not least in relation to ethical and methodological
considerations. Therefore, advances in the science and clinical
application of paediatric exercise physiology, psychology and
biomechanics have not reached their potential. Paediatric clinical
exercise physiology has application to the role of exercise in the
assessment and treatment of paediatric chronic diseases, the
utilization of physical activity in preventing illness and
enhancing wellbeing and can enhance our understanding of how sports
can be made safer and more enjoyable for our young athletes.
Exercise and Respiratory Diseases in Paediatrics highlights
research by various methodologies, including literature reviews,
experimental research and innovations, applied to children and
adolescents with respiratory diseases. Chronic conditions such as
asthma, bronchiectasis (e.g., cystic fibrosis), and those
associated with prematurity and medical complexity are worldwide
health problems for young people and although management includes
pharmaceutical medications, physiotherapy, nutritional and
psychological support, exercise has a role in optimising
multidisciplinary care. There has been unprecedented acceleration
in new technologies and methodologies that promise to facilitate
paediatric research and these are explained and discussed as future
research directions. This is reading for post graduate students,
researchers, academics and policy makers within the field of
paediatric healthcare, physical activity, physiology and the
related disciplines.

University of Chicago social neuroscientist John T. Cacioppo
unveils his pioneering research on the startling effects of
loneliness: a sense of isolation or social rejection disrupts not
only our thinking abilities and will power but also our immune
systems, and can be as damaging as obesity or smoking. A blend of
biological and social science, this book demonstrates that, as
individuals and as a society, we have everything to gain, and
everything to lose, in how well or how poorly we manage our need
for social bonds.
The Next Pandemic is a gripping book that confronts the most urgent
question facing our species: when, where, and how will the next
major outbreak arrive? Some of history's biggest killers have been
infectious diseases: The Black Death killed around 20 million in
the 14th century; Spanish Flu killed 50 million in 1918; the AIDS
pandemic has killed almost 40 million since 1981. There is no
guarantee that we can prevent another such disaster, but whenever a
new scare emerges, Dr. Ali Khan is sent to try. This book is Dr.
Khan's story of 25 years of containing these near misses, in his
long career at the Center for Disease Control. During the 1995
Ebola outbreak in Zaire, Khan worked among Red Cross workers
digging mass graves, rescuing struggling patients from
near-abandoned hospitals and ultimately finding Patient Zero. In
2001, he traveled to Washington, DC, summoned by a midnight phone
call, to prevent anthrax spores from spreading through the Senate
Office building's ventilation system. In 2002, he was called to
Hong Kong to quarantine victims of SARS, a contagious disease with
no cure and no vaccine. In each of these stories, Khan reconstructs
the chaos of those first moments on the ground, making
life-and-death decisions on limited and conflicting information,
with local, federal, and international authorities fighting to
contain both the virus and the panic. Through these and other
stories, Khan breaks down the sources of the next pandemic:
mutation; spillover from other species; lab accidents;
bioterrorism; and natural disasters. He shows that the danger of an
outbreak is more real than ever in a world of climate change and
global commerce, but that we need not only live in fear. His career
is a testament to the power of good information, habits, and poise
under pressure, as we work to fight whatever exotic contagion comes
next. The Next Pandemic is a vivid and necessary book about rampant
and violent diseases, and disasters narrowly averted; and the tools
we have to keep them at bay.

Education in the Global South faces several key interrelated
challenges, for which Open Educational Resources (OER) are seen to
be part of the solution. These challenges include: unequal access
to education; variable quality of educational resources, teaching,
and student performance; and increasing cost and concern about the
sustainability of education. The Research on Open Educational
Resources for Development (ROER4D) project seeks to build on and
contribute to the body of research on how OER can help to improve
access, enhance quality and reduce the cost of education in the
Global South. This volume examines aspects of educator and student
adoption of OER and engagement in Open Educational Practices (OEP)
in secondary and tertiary education as well as teacher professional
development in 21 countries in South America, Sub-Saharan Africa
and South and Southeast Asia. The ROER4D studies and syntheses
presented here aim to help inform Open Education advocacy, policy,
practice and research in developing countries.
Undisturbed in an old First World War trunk were medals, logbooks,
plane parts . . . and an old manuscript. This was the memoir of
Captain Frederick Williams, who flew D.H.4s in photo reconnaissance
and bomber raids over Germany. Starting when he was stationed in
Nancy in 1918 and ending with his return home with a Croix de
Guerre and a DFC to his name, Captain Williams' vivid descriptions
place the reader right in the air alongside him, relaying the
thoughts running through his head as events unfolded around him. It
is an important insight into the early development of bomber raids
within the RAF.
