Excerpt from Guy's Hospital Reports, Vol. 72 The nation cannot know too much of its great men; from their lives we may gather lessons of no small value. In estimat ing their services we are not to regard merely the direct accession of knowledge which has resulted from their individual labours; we must consider the influence they exerted over the minds of those around them, and the effects of their writings and examples in stimulating others. The life of Astley Cooper affords an example of great industry, Of temperance in all things, and of the importance of independent enquiry. He claimed no special gifts; he was certainly not a genius, nor had he the philosophical mind of his contemporary Abernethy. My own success, he writes, depended upon my zeal and industry; but for this I take no credit, as it was given to me from above. TO what use he put the talent committed to him, it will be the purpose of this sketch to show. He was born on August 23, 1768, at Brooke, in Norfolk, Where his father was rector. When about fourteen, Astley Cooper saved the life of his foster-brother by the timely applica tion of his handkerchief as a tourniquet; he had met with an accident and was bleeding from a wound in the thigh. He had just completed his sixteenth year when he was sent to London in August 1784, and apprenticed to his uncle, William Cooper. For various reasons he did not reside with his uncle, as apprentices usually did, but instead was placed with Mr. Cline, Surgeon to St. Thomas's Hospital, a circumstance which proved of great importance to the future of the young apprentice. At this time Astley Cooper was a tall, handsome youth, rejoicing in good health, high spirits and a great capacity for enjoyment. For a time he revelled in the attractions Of the great city of which he had heard but never before Visited. But his sense of duty soon compelled attention to his studies, and here began the wise influence of Mr. Cline. The boy had never expressed any special leaning towards the profession of medicine, so it was-quite an open question whether he would take to it or not.

How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
Customary International Humanitarian Law, Volume I: Rules is a comprehensive analysis of the customary rules of international humanitarian law applicable in international and non-international armed conflicts. In the absence of ratifications of important treaties in this area, this is clearly a publication of major importance, carried out at the express request of the international community. In so doing, this study identifies the common core of international humanitarian law binding on all parties to all armed conflicts. Comment Don:RWI.
