* What is good teaching and learning in the primary school? * How can teachers manage the whole curriculum and still educate the whole child and raise standards? * How can teachers be in critical dialogue with each other and with the curriculum in their search for improvement? * What is the role of the teacher in the new primary curriculum? This wide ranging book seeks to address these questions and to provide a comprehensive overview of the whole primary curriculum. It aims to develop teaching throughout primary education and to support teachers in the effective delivery of the curriculum. There is a particular focus on recent changes in primary education. The contributors consider how teaching methodologies need to adapt to these changes to meet the needs of children and raise standards in school. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on effective teaching and learning methodologies, the importance of quality interaction in the classroom, the role of the teacher in teaching and learning and the experience of the child. Exemplars of good teaching are provided in each chapter, as well as thought provoking ideas for good practice.

In this era of evidence-based medicine, one of the biggest challenges confronting clinicians is keeping abreast with the rapidly changing recommendations that guide clinical practice. It is not always easy to access research-based guidelines and protocols when needed in the clinic. Material isoften spread around various publications and web sites. Collating all the information in one easily accessible place and presenting it in a uniform style is hugely advantageous to a busy clinician. The Oxford Desk Reference - Acute Medicine allows easy access to evidence-based materials on commonlyencountered acute medical problems to ensure the optimum management of the acutely unwell patient. Acute Medicine is a growing and evolving specialty and now has its own curricula for training. This book collates key recommendations that a practising clinician needs to know and presents them in an easily accessible and uniform way allowing rapid assimilation of information. The book is edited bythree experts in Acute Medicine, including Derek Bell, the first chair of Acute Medicine, Richard Leach, author of Acute and Critical Care Medicine at a glance, and Kevin Moore, editor of the Oxford Handbook of Acute Medicine.

Derek Bell’s name became inextricably linked with that of Porsche during his long and hugely successful career as a racing driver. In this new 276-page book, Bell collaborates with renowned motorsport author Richard Heseltine to give the reader a very personal insight into his experiences racing for the legendary German marque. The approach taken by this latest publication from Porter Press International is to look at every race Bell drove for Porsche, in detail and with revealing comments from the book’s subject. Light is cast on Bell’s most prestigious victories with Porsche - four of his five in the Le Mans 24 Hours, three in the Daytona 24 Hours, two in the World Sportscar Championship - and many more besides. Bell describes the Porsches he raced, from the fearsome 917 to the iconic 956, 962, and 911. And he shares his thoughts on the now-legendary drivers he raced with, including six-time Le Mans winner Jacky Ickx, the famously flamboyant Hans Stuck, and two immense talents who lost their lives to the sport, Jo Siffert and Stefan Bellof. The overall effect is a fascinating trip back in time to a golden era for Porsche and sports car racing as a whole.
