    Brian Clegg was always fascinated by Isaac Asimov's classic Foundation series of books, in which the future is predicted using sophisticated mathematical modelling of human psychology and behaviour.
    
    Only much later did he realise that Asimov's 'psychohistory' had a real-world equivalent: game theory.
    
    Originating in the study of probabilistic gambling games that depend on a random source - the throw of a dice or the toss of a coin - game theory soon came to be applied to human interactions: essentially, what was the best strategy to win, whatever you were doing? Its mathematical techniques have been applied, with varying degrees of wisdom, to fields such as economics, evolution, and questions such as how to win a nuclear war.
    
    Clegg delves into game theory's colourful history and significant findings, and shows what we can all learn from this oft-misunderstood field of study.

    Tympanology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and its role in hearing. It delves into the intricacies of ear health, diagnosing ear-related disorders, and understanding how the ear functions. The term "tympanology" is derived from "tympanum," which is the Latin word for the eardrum. This field of study is essential not only for understanding the anatomy and physiology of the ear but also for managing and treating various ear conditions that can affect a person’s hearing. 
    The ear is a sophisticated organ responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals, which are then interpreted by the brain. The eardrum plays a pivotal role in this process. It is a thin, flexible membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves. These vibrations are transferred to the tiny bones of the middle ear and eventually to the inner ear, where they are converted into nerve signals. Thus, the eardrum acts as the first step in a complex process that allows humans to hear the world around them. 
    Tympanology covers a broad spectrum of topics, from the anatomy of the ear to the various disorders that can affect the ear, including infections, trauma, and diseases that impact the eardrum and overall hearing. By understanding the delicate structure and function of the eardrum, healthcare professionals can diagnose and treat a wide range of ear-related conditions. Diseases or damage to the eardrum can lead to hearing loss, which can profoundly impact an individual’s quality of life.

    Creating Space tells a professional and personal story of healthcare chaplaincy and models the way in which practice development emerges from reflecting on the human story. This book reveals to healthcare, the Church and the community, the unique role of the chaplain’s experiences as a resource to others. It is written for professional practitioners, prompting their own contextual learning and development, whether as chaplains, pastoral carers, parish clergy, lay ministers, volunteers in any caring context, those who work in listening therapies, those who provide care and support to others of any kind, or those who use or teach reflective practice.
    
     
    The authors connect in a straightforward way their view of healthcare chaplaincy as a model of practical theology, based on key practical theologians who see the human story as a source of learning. They outline their own reflective practice tool for learning and share the way in which they see each pastoral encounter as a reflective source of learning. They discover how their experiences have developed the discernment process for chaplaincy vocation, urging the Church to see beyond the parish model in today’s world.
