Ces images sont tirées de British Fresh-Water Algae (« algues d'eau douce britanniques »), traité en deux volumes et 130 illustrations publié en 1882-1884 par Williams and Norgate, maison londonienne spécialisée dans la littérature éducative et scientifique. Son auteur, Mordecai Cubitt Cooke (1825-1914), natif du Norfolk, le destine aux « Microscopistes désireux de connaître davantage les organismes rencontrés au cours de leurs excursions dans les étangs et les fossés ». Il propose une classification « pratique », et distingue les Chlorophyllophyceae (algues vertes), les Phycochromophyceae (algues bleu-vert), les Melanophyceae (algues brunes ou noirâtres), les Rhodophyceae (algues roses et rouges) et les Diatomophyceae (algues à squelette siliceux).

EDUCATING PHYSICIANS The current blueprint for medical education in North America was drawn up in 1910 by Abraham Flexner in his report Medical Education in the United States and Canada. The basic features outlined by Flexner remain in place today. Yet with the past century's enormous societal changes, the practice of medicine and its scientific, pharmacological, and technological foundations have been transformed. Now medical education in the United States is at a crossroads: those who teach medical students and residents must choose whether to continue in the direction established over a hundred years ago or to take a fundamentally different course, guided by contemporary innovation and new understandings about how people learn. Emerging from an extensive study of physician education by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Educating Physicians calls for a major overhaul of the present approach to preparing doctors for their careers. The text addresses major issues for the future of the field and takes a comprehensive look at the most pressing concerns in physician education today. The key findings of the study recommend four goals for medical education: standardization of learning outcomes and individualization of the learning process; integration of formal knowledge and clinical experience; development of habits of inquiry and innovation; and focus on professional identity formation. Like The Carnegie Foundation's revolutionizing Flexner Report of 1910, Educating Physicians is destined to change the way administrators and faculty in medical schools and programs prepare their physicians for the future.
