Slavik Tabakov, Co-Editor, King’s College London, UK EDITORIAL 2 principles in order to make intelligent decisions that will contribute to effective and safe use. Medical physicists have the opportunity to provide this education. The challenge is that the physics knowledge needed by physicians for effective clinical applications is often different from what we as medical physicists learned in our academic studies. The common practice of “teaching” what “we were taught” is generally not appropriate. Let’s consider the guidance provided by Albert Einstein shown here. What does that mean for us as clinical medical physicists and medical physics educators? Especially for our students who are physicians and other clinical professionals we need to develop conditions and learning activities in which they integrate physics directly into the clinical practice. This is achieved through a close collaboration between physicists With the rapid advances in both medical imaging and and physicians where knowledge is shared in both directions. radiation therapy technology and applications around the One of the goals of this journal is to publish articles that can contribute to more clinically- focused physics education world, the role of the medical physicist as an educator is expanding and becoming much more significant, but also and provide resources, and links to web-based resources, for medical physicists to use. with some challenges.

  • Urban and Regional Planning, Fourth Edition
    Urban and Regional Planning This is the fourth edition of the classic text for students of urban and regional planning. It gives a historical overview of the developments and changes in the theory and prac- tice of planning in the United Kingdom, throughout the entire twentieth century. This revised edition follows the successful format of previous editions: ● It introduces the establishment of planning as part of the public health reforms of the late nineteenth century and goes on to look at the insights of the great figures who influenced the early planning movement, leading up to the creation of the postwar planning machine. ● National and regional planning, and planning for cities and city regions, in the UK from 1945 to 2000, is then considered. Specific reference is made to the most impor- tant British developments in recent times, including the Single Regeneration Budget, English Partnerships, the devolution of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the establishment of the Mayor of London and the dominant urban sustainability paradigm. ● ‘Planning in Western Europe since 1945’ now incorporates new material on EU- wide issues, as well as updated country-specific sections. ● ‘Planning in the United States since 1945’ now discusses the continuing trends of urban dispersal and social polarization, as well as initiatives in land-use planning and transportation policies. ● Finally, the book looks at the nature of the planning process at the end of the twen- tieth century, reflecting briefly on shifts in planning paradigms since the 1960s and going on to discuss the main issues of the 1990s, including sustainability and social exclusion and looking forward to the twenty-first century.

As Minister for Veterans I believe that we should continue to remember the bravery of our Armed Forces during the Second World War; without their efforts and sacrifices, our lives today would be very different. These booklets will commemorate various Second World War actions, and aim not only to remember and commemorate those who fought and died, but also to inform future generations of the sacrifices made by those who fought. The inspiration that can be derived from their stories will be invaluable for their future. I want to help those growing up now to be aware of the veterans’ sacrifices, and of the important contributions they made to our security and to the way of life we enjoy today.

The Committee thus formed, commenced its work in December 2001 and has held 16 meetings, during which it examined evidence from radiobiology and epidemiology. In June 2003, the Committee prepared a Preliminary Report that was considered by a Workshop of invited delegates in Oxford in July 2003. This final Report has been published and sent to the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE) for its consideration. It is expected that COMARE will wish to inform Ministers of its views on the Report.
