This book is a concise manual on debriefing techniques in a clinical educational context. It presents the most popular debriefing techniques and, hence, can be used as a reference manual by educators to help them achieve their intended debriefing objectives. The overarching objective of debriefing is to promote reflection and improve patient safety awareness at an individual and a team level. This book provides clear explanations of what constitutes a valuable and effective debriefing, and presents the various approaches that can be used and how debriefing differs from feedback. It includes key recommendations on aspects that directly or indirectly impact debriefing with different populations of learners such as students or qualified healthcare professionals of various levels of seniority. This book can also be used as a survival guide for both simulation educators and clinicians during debriefings. It includes several useful sections explaining the different phases of a debriefing session, which help learners develop and consolidate their knowledge, and identify potential knowledge or performance gaps and near misses. The underlying philosophy of this book is to also promote profound respect for the trainee by using a non-offensive debriefing approach. Debriefing facilitators will appreciate the several key sentences that will help them lead and engage their learners in the various phases of expressing their emotions and analyzing their experience and actions.

This latest edition of the Newnes Data Communications Pocket Book has been substantially updated to keep abreast with the rapid pace of developments in data communications technology. New topics have been introduced - data compression, the Internet and World-Wide Web, HyperText Mark-up Language - existing material has been updated and expanded. Despite the complexity of subject, this wealth of information is presented succinctly and in such a way, using tables, diagrams and brief explanatory text, as to allow the user to locate information quickly and easily. Thus the book should be invaluable to those involved with the installation, commissioning and maintenance of data communications equipment, as well as the end user. Mike Tooley is the well known author of many books including the Newnes Computer Engineer's Pocket Book, now in its fourth edition.

Newnes Radio Engineer's Pocket Book focuses on various processes employed in radio engineering, including frequency, wavelength, radio waves, resonant circuits, and oscillators. The book first elaborates on the propagation of radio waves, decibel scale, and transmission lines. Discussions focus on radio frequency lines, impedance matching, waveguides, decibels referred to absolute values, radio frequency spectrum, formation and behavior of radio waves, and methods of propagation. The text then explores antennas, resonant circuits, oscillators, piezo-electric devices, and bandwidth requirements and modulation. The manuscript examines frequency planning, radio equipment, microwave communication, information privacy and encryption, and multiplexing. Topics include code division multiple access (CDMA), encryption principles, performance criteria for analogue and digital links, microwave usage, transmitters, receivers, and programmable equipment. The book also reviews broadcasting, connectors and interfaces, satellite communications, batteries, instrumentation, and base station site management. The publication is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in radio engineering.

Software Engineer's Pocket Book provides a concise discussion on various aspects of software engineering. The book is comprised of six chapters that tackle various areas of concerns in software engineering. Chapter 1 discusses software development, and Chapter 2 covers programming languages. Chapter 3 deals with operating systems. The book also tackles discrete mathematics and numerical computation. Data structures and algorithms are also explained. The text will be of great use to individuals involved in the specification, design, development, implementation, testing, maintenance, and quality assurance of software.
