Sinossi

"Academic Calendars" explores the profound impact of academic schedules on higher education, examining how different semester systems and calendar models influence student outcomes, faculty workload, and institutional resources. This academic textbook delves into the historical evolution of these calendars, from monastic schedules to today's diverse approaches, highlighting the influence of societal changes and educational philosophies. 

 
A key insight is that an optimal calendar isn't universal but should align with an institution's mission, student body, and available resources. The book uniquely integrates quantitative data, like graduation rates, with qualitative insights from student and faculty experiences. It analyzes various calendar models, from traditional semesters to year-round schooling, using comparative case studies to showcase both successes and failures.

 
By connecting academic calendars to economics, sociology, and psychology, the book demonstrates the far-reaching implications of calendar design on areas such as local economies and student well-being. Structured to first introduce fundamental concepts, "Academic Calendars" progresses through analyzing different models, presenting supporting data, and discussing real-world applications. This approach aims to provide administrators, faculty, and policymakers with an evidence-based guide to understanding and potentially reforming their academic calendars for enhanced educational practices.

First the Patient - The Life &...

Barrett Rollins

A fast-paced account of a giant of twentieth century medicine, First the Patient details how David Nathan saved patients with his medical skill and rescued institutions with his visionary leadership. 
 
 
 
The miraculous triumphs of modern medicine—antibiotics, insulin, cancer cures, longer and better lives—are the fruits of its firm grounding in science. But too often, the healing touch, the empathy of a physician for the patient, and the art of medicine, can be neglected in pursuit of breakthroughs. 
 
 
 
David Nathan never accepted that bargain. A brilliant hematologist thoroughly steeped in scientific rigor with a research track record to prove it, Nathan was above all a humanist, a caring physician who never failed to put the patient first even when that patient was his research subject. This same humanism, along with the profound psychological insights it affords, propelled Nathan to the top ranks of academic leadership. He served first at Boston Children's Hospital, then at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where, as president, he rescued a hospital on the brink of extinction after its doctors administered a fatal chemotherapy overdose. First the Patient is the story of a physician who left an indelible imprint on medicine through his relentless focus on the patient.
