Applied Philosophy for Health Professions Education
This book increases the accessibility of philosophical concepts to a wider audience within medical education, translating ‘knowing’ to ‘doing.’ It prompts health professions educators and researchers to consider the dynamics and structure of contemporary issues within health professions education in new, philosophical ways. Through considering the practical implications of applying philosophical concepts to contemporary issues, the book recommends avenues for further research and pedagogical change. Individual educators are considered, with practice points for teaching generated within each chapter. Readers will acquire practical ways in which they can change their own practice or pedagogy that align with the new insight offered through our philosophical analysis. These practical recommendations may be systemic in nature, but the authors of this book also offer micro-level recommendations for practitioners that can be considered as ways to improve individual approaches to education and research.
Achieving Equity and Quality in Higher Education
Across the world, higher education is witnessing exponential growth in both student participation and types of educational providers. One key phenomenon of this growth is an increase in student diversity: governments are widening access to higher education for students from traditionally underrepresented groups. However, this raises questions about whether this rapid growth may in face compromise academic quality. This book presents case studies of how higher education institutions in diverse countries are maintaining academic excellence while increasing the access and participation of students from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Including case studies spanning four continents, the authors and editors examine whether increasing widening participation positively impacts upon academic quality. This volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of global higher education, representation and participation in education, and quality in higher education.

The Ziegler Family and Related Families in Pennsylvania
"Readers will find this 1978 revised edition greatly expanded from my first edition of 1970. Not only have previous families expanded, but many more branches of the family have surfaced with the research work of other family members who wished to have their findings included in this issue. The basic plan of the earlier book--to take the reader on my own genealogical journey--has not been changed. However, new material has been discovered which affords us with more knowledge about Abraham Ziegler and his Harmony followers. A section on the Zieglers for 500 years in Europe--before Michael's journey in 1709 to America has been translated from the German with the help of Dr. Carl J. Schindler of Zelienople. With the world becoming smaller, and traveling abroad becoming more common, this section may inspire members of the family of present and future generations to find the viable link between Europe and America in the Ziegler family."--from the introduction.
