Praise for Educating Physicians

"Educating Physicians provides a masterful analysis of undergraduate and graduate medical education in the United States today. It represents a major educational document, based firmly on educational psychology, learning theory, empirical studies, and careful personal observations of many individual programs. It also recognizes the importance of financing, regulation, and institutional culture on the learning environment, which suffuses its recommendations for reform with cogency and power. Most important, like Abraham Flexner's classic study a century ago, the report recognizes that medical education and practice, at their core, are profoundly moral enterprises. This is a landmark volume that merits attention from anyone even peripherally involved with medical education." —Kenneth M. Ludmerer, author, Time to Heal: American Medical Education from the Turn of the Century to the Era of Managed Care

"This is a very important book that comes at a critical time in our nation's history. We will not have enduring health care reform in this country unless we rethink our medical education paradigms. This book is a call to arms for doing just that." —George E. Thibault, president, Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation

"The authors provide us with the evidence-based model for physician education with associated changes in infrastructure, policy, and our roles as educators. Whether you agree or not with their conclusions, if you are a teacher this book is a must-read as it will frame both what and how we discuss medical education throughout the current century." —Deborah Simpson, associate dean for educational support and evaluation, Medical College of Wisconsin

"A provocative book that provides us with a creative vision for medical education. Using in-depth case studies of innovative educational practices illustrating what is actually possible, the authors provide sage advice for transforming medical education on the basis of learning theories and educational research." —Judith L. Bowen, professor of medicine, Oregon Health & Science University ... Read more

The Great Old Ones Were, the Great Old Ones Are,
the Great Old Ones shall Be.

That famous saying is the essence of the Cthulhu Mythos. The Great Old Ones are a cosmic evil existing since before time, and shall exist long after humanity has gone the way of the dinosaurs. This book illustrates the eternal struggle between humankind and the forces of the mythos.

Here are nine scenarios that run the chronological gambit from prehistoric times to a distant future. Each adventure comes with six pre-generated characters for the players to use, allowing for quick play with a minimum of fuss. Each scenario is meant to be a stand-alone experience.

• CURSED BE THE CITY can be described as cavemen vs. Cthulhu.
  
• CHILDREN OF A STARRY HEAVEN set in ancient Greece, the birthplace of many great philosophers and thinkers.
  
• THEY DID NOT THINK IT TOO MANY the might of ancient Rome brings law to the wilds of Britannia.
  
• MASTER WU S MARRIAGE a lovely springtime wedding; surely nothing bad can happen here.
  
• THE IRON-BANDED BOX set in feudal Japan. Beautiful, strange, messy, and with swords!
  
• TO HELL OR CONNAUGHT it s Protestant vs. Catholic, English vs. Irish, and mankind vs. the Cthulhu Mythos with Saint Patrick thrown in for good measure.
  
• A HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL set in the American Civil War, this scenario chronicles the horrors of war where brother fights brother...and then everyone fights a cosmic horror beyond description.
  
• THREE DAYS OF PEACE, MUSIC, AND TENTACLE LOVE Taking place at the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969 with sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, and black magic.
  
• TIME AFTER TIME is a fractured scenario for fractured minds. Here the investigators will think many things, only to find them all false. Identities, locations, adversaries, even era. ... Read more

  unusual places
  For those who enjoy playing CoC in diferent sets and times, this supplement gives the opportunity to deal with exotic cultures. So bad there is little space to describe those sets with more detail (china, japan and celtic britain scenarios have so poor atmosphere that you would need Secrets of Japan and Cthulhu Invictus to spice things up). Nevertheless, as usual with Chaosium supplements, it contains a lot of pearls for the keeper who wishes to make the players go insane. ... Read more

Product Description
By the late 1860s stagecoaches were a new and exciting way to travel in Colorado. Hardly a Colorado town or mining camp could be found where stagecoach wheels had not left their tracks. In the winter wheels were often exchanged for runners so that the coach could travel through deep Colorado snow.We can only imagine what it was really like to travel hundreds of miles in a swaying stagecoach with hard, wooden benches for seats, often with only fifteen inches of space to yourself.Stage passengers often encountered rainstorms, wind, thunder and lightning, mud, snow, and rockslides, all with only a thin piece of canvas to protect them from inclement weather. But this was the premier way to travel. Passengers often overlooked the hardships and only remembered the speed, the beauty, and the excitement of a Colorado stagecoach trip. ... Read more

Product Description
Lying, stealing, and cheating behaviors can have profound implications for teachers and the students they serve. Deceptive behaviors tend to undermine any level of trust that students build over time. Once students develop a reputation for engaging in deception, they have a difficult time rebuilding their reputation. Lying, stealing, and cheating behaviors have other consequences as well. Unfortunately, these consequences may not be readily apparent to the student. For example, many teachers use the results of tests to help determine educational goals for their students. When students cheat on tests, the teacher bases instructional decisions on "false" information. Therefore, any changes to instruction may not have the intended results. ... Read more
