This chapter is the crux of the book and covers our templates for tackling clinical scenarios. We provide scripts that were used at interview for candidates to adapt as they see fit. We show candidates how to build a set of scripts of their own, and then adapt these for a given scenario. We cover trauma, acutely unwell, and stable patient presentations.

Chapter 8 explains why the most powerful chiefs in Hawaii decided to be baptised a few years after dispensing with their old cult. The most important of these factors revolved around immanent power: The ability of the new god to deliver victory in battle in the immediate aftermath of the abolition, and to Christian forces at the battle of Waimea in 1824, made a great impression, while healing was, as always, also a matter of concern. The impotence of the old gods was confirmed by deliberate challenges to the volcano goddess Pele and the female prophets who spoke for her and by the iconoclastic tours of Ka‘ahumanu, who was now taking centre stage. Meanwhile, the high chiefs also felt the need to repair the sacral basis to their authority, if now in a more righteous mode, while the strict form of Protestantism provided a way of ‘restoring the tabus’, disciplining both their subjects and the Euro-American inhabitants of Honolulu.

The second chapter turns to the roots of Roman drama, a popular art form throughout our period. It locates Rome’s particular kind of theatre in the larger Italic context, outlines the major playwrights, who exist mostly in fragments, and devotes most of its energy to discussion of Plautus and Terence, the two comedic dramatists whose work survives in sufficient quantity. Themes include the importance of Greek models, the experience of attending a show, the style and tone of comedies, major plot structures, and important characters.

Traditional economics served as the model case of most early performativity theory. In recent years, however, behavioural economics and particularly nudging has become increasingly popular; both as a policy instrument to design markets and as a behaviour change tool used by for-profit organizations. This chapter unpacks the implications of this shift in economic discourse for performativity theory, examining to what extent the performative process of behavioural economics overlaps with standard performativity and how it differs from that of traditional economics across policy and business domains. We focus on four aspects of the shift: (1) the nature of the economic subjects – consumers, workers, market actors – being performed, (2) the changes in the underlying normative standpoints and the politics of performativity, (3) the technologies of knowing adopted, and (4) the performative actions and socio-technical assemblages facilitated by traditional versus behavioural economics. The chapter concludes by offering a theoretical extension of performativity theory and a critical account of the potential impacts of behavioural economics and by laying the groundwork for future research.

This chapter provides a thorough, up-to-date review of the literature on the phonetics and phonology of early bilinguals. It pulls together studies from a range of bilingual settings, including bilingual societies and heritage language contexts. While the chapter mostly reviews evidence from adolescent and adult participants, it also makes reference to the child bilingualism literature, where appropriate. The chapter first reviews studies on the accents of early versus late bilinguals, followed by a discussion of the various explanatory accounts for the observed differences between these two groups. Subsequently, the critical significance of early linguistic experience on bilingual speech patterns is considered, with particular reference to the evidence from childhood overhearers and international adoptees. The following sections then review studies comparing simultaneous and early sequential bilinguals, and those exploring the role of language dominance, continued use, the language of the environment in bilinguals’ pronunciation patterns, and the role of sociolinguistic factors in early bilingual speech patterns. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research.

The chapter discusses how questions of time and temporality shape and challenge global history, as well as historical studies in general. I take my cue from the specific temporality of global history itself and its role in defining the identity of the field. I move on to show, firstly, why time can be understood as history’s ‘last fetish’, as Chris Lorenz has phrased it, and how this makes itself known among global historians. In a second step, politics of periodisation are analysed as a particular challenge for de-centring history. Here, the recent debate about the ‘Global Middle Ages’ and the longer history of the global proliferation of the ‘medieval’ serve as an example. Finally, I turn to the question of synchronisation and contemporaneity, which presents both a promise and a problem for global historians.

Summarizes the industrial policies of the US from 1940 to 1973, the so-called golden age of American capitalism, with globally dominant industries and broadly shared prosperity.

The Supreme Court justices, as we have seen, have already shown some inclination toward constitutional symmetry. The Court’s overall output suggests an interest in visibly distributing wins and losses across partisan and ideological divides; its reasoning in some cases, and especially in some dissents, has invoked an imperative of symmetry more or less explicitly; and several narrow decisions reaching unexpected results suggest a self-conscious effort to maintain a public reputation for apolitical fidelity to law. This impulse, however, has remained inchoate and untheorized. As a result, the effort has appeared cynical and sporadic rather than principled and consistent. To fulfill its full potential as a stabilizing approach to constitutional law in our divided republic, judges and justices must embrace an ethic of symmetric interpretation more self-consciously and with greater consistency.

This chapter examines the conditions for revolution, its premises and accelerators, and its unravelling. Between 1959 and 1961, Rwanda made the transition from a Tutsi-dominated monarchy to a Hutu-dominated republic, creating the conditions for the armed return of the Tutsi exiles discussed in Chapter 6.
