World Cancer Day 2020

February 4th marks 20 years of World Cancer Day. An initiative of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), the day has become a global movement in its own right, uniting people all over the world to take action.

At Cambridge Scholars we’re committed to furthering awareness and education in the fight against the disease. In celebration of World Cancer Day, we’re highlighting three exceptional publications aiming to understand and eradicate cancer for good. The books are available at a 50% discount until March – just use the code ‘ACTION50’ at the checkout on our website.

The History and Mystery of Breast Cancer is a fascinating study that touches on the history of medicine, the philosophy of science, and the introduction of the humanities into medical education. In it Michael Baum uses his vast experience to answer many of the most pressing questions about the disease. Provoked by two instances of breast cancer in his family, the book is “intensely personal yet contains sophisticated science”, notes Dr Margaret Spittle OBE. It is a text worthy of a wide audience. One of Britain’s most distinguished and respected surgeons, Michael Baum has held Chairs of Surgery at such prestigious institutions as Kings College London, the Institute of Cancer Research, UK, and University College London.

Oral Cancer: From Prevention to Intervention is a concise, informed and practical manual detailing the cause, deterrence and interventional treatment of oral cancer. Spanning nearly 40 years of clinical investigation, it reviews the biological basis of oral cancer, outlines primary, secondary and tertiary preventive strategies and describe a pragmatic treatment intervention protocol that specifically utilizes the ‘potentially malignant window’ to identify malignant disease at the earliest possible stage and intervention to ‘stop the oral cancer clock’ and halt the progression of this deadliest of oral diseases. The book’s author Peter Thomson has published and presented over 250 research papers in oral oncology, and is an internationally recognised authority on carcinogenesis.

George D. K. Gogichadze, Professor of at Tbilisi State Medical University, has dedicated his adult life to researching cancer, with the vast majority of his scientific publications (over 230) being dedicated to the topic. He is the author of 30 published books on the subject, and his most recent volume is no different. The Paradoxical Situation in Carcinogenesis: Optimistic Mistake or Pessimistic Truth? focuses on the ethical problems related to carcinogenesis and discusses the karyogamic theory in a new light, using new arguments to consider the prospects of cancer prevention and treatment.

Author discusses book on grad school

Graduate school is a great mystery to students, and to some faculty members, says Jessica McCrory Calarco, the author of A Field Guide to Grad School: Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum (Princeton University Press). Calarco is an associate professor of sociology at Indiana University. She believes many faculty members (as well as graduate students, of course) will benefit from her book. She responded to questions via email. Q: How did you get the idea to write this book? Why did the issue speak to you? A: This book started as a tweet . Or, rather, as a series of tweets about the hidden curriculum of higher ed. Ph.D. student Kristen K. Smith had tweeted about the need to better educate undergrads about grad school opportunities, and it made me think about how opportunities in academe are often hidden from grad students, as well. Reflecting on my own experiences in grad school, I thought about the many times I'd found myself embarrassed because of what I didn't know -- the ...

Tips and Strategies for Remote Learning (March 2020)

For the past four weeks, starting two weeks before our Spring Break last week, teachers, administrators and staff at our school have been preparing for “remote school” for students as a result of the coronavirus / COVID-19 crisis. On March 19, 2020, our Head of School sent out a letter to our parents including information about our remote learning plans and FAQs for parents . If your school is currently preparing for remote learning ( as all Oklahoma public school districts now appear to be , pending tomorrow’s state school board meeting vote) I encourage you to review these publicly shared documents and information. As our school’s “Technology Integration and Innovation Specialist” this year, I’ve been building an instructional site for our teachers to support remote learning, on support.casady.org , which is openly licensed CC-BY . This collaborative effort with many other teachers and members of our school staff has provided a good opportunity to curate as well as present instruc...
