Abstract: A study gide for medical field workers provides a systematic approach for building a vocabulary and developing an understanding of thousands of medical terms. This approach is based on and active participation by the reader in identifying word parts, building new words, and pronouncing and practicing them. Following a description of the system, 10 study units teach the reader to form a constantly expanding medical vocabulary by using new word parts. Each study unit is divided into numbered frames; each frame provides information and asks a question, the answer to which is given at the end of each study unit. Review sheets for each unit, 2 "final" self-tests, an index of word parts learned, and a table of additional word parts are appended. (wz).

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Honest, heartrending and full of humour, this is an extraordinary memoir about an unconventional childhood and the absurdities of the cancer experience. It is also, most importantly, a celebration of life. When Genevieve Fox finds a lump in her throat, she turns up for the hospital diagnosis in a party frock. I can’t have cancer, she thinks. I’ve done my hair. But there is another reason she can’t countenance cancer. She was orphaned by it at the age of nine. Fox’s story weaves together past and present as she recalls her rackety, unconventional childhood, while also facing the spectre of being lost to her young boys. Yet she confronts her treatment with the same sassy survival instinct that characterised her childhood misadventures. She takes life’s precariousness and turns it on its head. ‘Life-enhancing...

In Writing Without Teachers, well-known advocate of innovative teaching methods Peter Elbow outlines a practical program for learning how to write. His approach is especially helpful to people who get "stuck" or blocked in their writing, and is equally useful for writing fiction, poetry, and essays, as well as reports, lectures, and memos. The core of Elbow's thinking is a challenge against traditional writing methods. Instead of editing and outlining material in the initial steps of the writing process, Elbow celebrates non-stop or free uncensored writing, without editorial checkpoints first, followed much later by the editorial process. This approach turns the focus towards encouraging way...
