The Oxford Handbook of Medical Education is a practical, easy-to-read guide on medical education for busy doctors and healthcare professionals. Tailored for medical practitioners at all levels who wish to engage in education but may lack the time or expertise for in-depth research, this handbook offers practical advice alongside case studies and scenarios based on experts' educational experiences. The chapters have been designed to follow an easy-to-navigate structure and can be read in isolation or sequentially as part of a broader, more comprehensive exploration of the field of medical education. The handbook contains the accessible features you would expect from the Oxford Medical Handbook series, including lists, tables, figures, and pop-out boxes. It is a portable guide, quickly referenced and applied, particularly when teaching opportunities arise spontaneously. Drawing on the expertise of experienced scholars and educators internationally, and across stages of their educational and academic careers, this comprehensive volume offers advice within the key domains of medical education. These include: curriculum design, assessment, learning strategies, clinical teaching, educational theory, and the integration of technology. In addition to its focus on educational practice, this handbook should also appeal to those exploring medical education research for the first time, either as readers of research, or researchers themselves, given the inclusion of content on conducting medical education research. In sum, by synthesising foundational research and practical wisdom, the Oxford Handbook of Medical Education offers readers an opportunity to develop their understanding of the principles and practices that shape contemporary medical education. In doing so, we hope readers will feel empowered to make evidence- and experience-based changes to their educational practice to improve learners' and patients' experiences of education and care.

In the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, American memoirists have wrestled with a wide range of anxieties in their books. They cope with financial crises, encounter difference, or confront norms of identity. Megan Brown contends that such best sellers as Cheryl Strayed’s Wild, Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love, and Tucker Max’s I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell teach readers how to navigate a confusing, changing world. This lively and theoretically grounded book analyzes twenty-first-century memoirs from Three Cups of Tea to Fun Home, emphasizing the ways in which they reinforce and circulate ideologies, becoming guides or models for living. Brown expands her inquiry beyond books to the autobiographical narratives in reality television and political speeches. She offers a persuasive explanation for the memoir boom: the genre as a response to an era of uncertainty and struggle.

Review\n“Brown casts a new light on the history of European integration, bringing out the contorted effort of French leaders to insist that Algeria was an integral part of France at the same time that France was an integral part of Europe. Her story helps us understand still ongoing conflicts over colonialism, race, and economic interests.”―Frederick Cooper, author of Africa in the World: Capitalism, Empire, Nation-State\n“An impressive book that makes a new and important contribution to the story of Algerian independence. Brown shows that the history of decolonization in Algeria was not only a question about citizenship, French sovereignty, and Algerian nationhood, but also a crucial arena for determining the meaning of European integration in the postwar decades. The book rests on a prodigious amount of archival work, but Brown wears her erudition lightly in prose that is clear, concise, and effective. I wholeheartedly recommend The Seventh Member State.”―Joshua Cole, author of Lethal Provocation: The Constantine Murders and the Politics of French Algeria\n“Brown explains brilliantly how the history of the European Union is linked to the imperial past of its member states. In retracing the forgotten story of Algerian membership in the European Community, she reinterprets the concept of Eurafrica, questioning the boundaries of Europe and the identities of European citizens. A fascinating new perspective on what European integration could have been.”―Guia Migani, University of Tours\n“Brown presents a new angle on European integration and the concept of Europe itself by calling attention to the ‘seventh member state,’ Algeria. This valuable work offers a striking example of how decolonization was more often than not a protracted and messy process rather than a straightforward transfer of power. In a clear, brisk narrative, Brown also enlarges our understanding of the diplomatic context for the Algerian War, as well as the international dimensions of Algerian independence.”―Owen White, author of The Blood of the Colony: Wine and the Rise and Fall of French Algeria\n“In this excellent book, Brown illuminates all the complexities and difficulties the six member states of the European Community, especially France, had to deal with when confronted with the decolonization of Algeria on the one hand and the European integration process on the other.”―Véronique Dimier, Free University of Brussels\nThe surprising story of how Algeria joined and then left the postwar European Economic Community and what its past inclusion means for extracontinental membership in today’s European Union.\nOn their face, the mid-1950s negotiations over European integration were aimed at securing unity in order to prevent violent conflict and boost economies emerging from the disaster of World War II. But French diplomats had other motives, too. From Africa to Southeast Asia, France’s empire was unraveling. France insisted that Algeria―the crown jewel of the empire and home to a nationalist movement then pleading its case to the United Nations―be included in the Treaty of Rome, which established the European Economic Community. The French hoped that Algeria’s involvement in the EEC would quell colonial unrest and confirm international agreement that Algeria was indeed French.\nFrench authorities harnessed Algeria’s legal status as an official département within the empire to claim that European trade regulations and labor rights should traverse the Mediterranean. Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany conceded in order to move forward with the treaty, and Algeria entered a rights regime that allowed free movement of labor and guaranteed security for the families of migrant workers. Even after independence in 1962, Algeria remained part of the community, although its ongoing inclusion was a matter of debate. Still, Algeria’s membership continued until 1976, when a formal treaty removed it from the European communit

A field guide for military spouses who did not know what they'd signed up for. 
“You knew what you signed up for!” Megan B. Brown has heard that hint of condescension more times than she cares to remember. But did she? Honestly, no. She fell in love with a military man and had dreams of adventure. 
In much the same way, when we surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ, we really had no idea what we were “signing up for.” We were probably so overwhelmed by His love; we weren’t necessarily focused on the sacrifices that would follow. 
Five moves. Ten different houses. Four children. Two deployments to combat zones. Megan has discovered that this lifestyle takes its toll. She has sacrificed jobs, communities, friendships, and personal dreams. She has comforted children who’ve cried themselves to sleep over missing their father. She has bravely stood in the gap when her husband had boots on the ground somewhere else. 
In Know What You Signed Up For, Megan helps military spouses see that we’re right where we’re supposed to be—chosen for this specific time and place. We’ll find life in our roles as military spouses, mothers—or spiritual mothers. We’ll discover the passion of the gospel, the wisdom held in God’s Word, and the strengthening of His church. We’ll hear His call to be radically hospitable and unconditionally loving. Together, we’ll see what it means to follow Jesus, love people, and live on mission.
