Aziz, Noreen M., and Julia H. Rowland. “Trends and advances in cancer survivorship research: challenge and opportunity.” Seminars in Radiation Oncology. Vol. 13. No. 3. WB Saunders, 2003 

In this seminal article, Aziz and Rowland describe the rapidly changing paradigm of cancer survivorship in the 21st century and areas of research critical to addressing a burgeoning population of cancer survivors. Whereas cancer was once effectively a death-sentence, advancements in treatment and acute care have necessitated increased focus on long-term survivorship and the management of post-treatment complications and comorbidities. Late and long-term effects, which were once non-issues due to low survivorship, are neither well understood nor researched; furthermore, many prevalent types of cancer (excluding breast cancer) are still understudied. Aziz and Rowland contend the majority of cancer survivorship knowledge focuses on the short period following diagnosis, and call for a shift toward long-term survivorship research.

Combination (Descriptive + Evaluative) Annotations

Kunel, Maurice. Grasset, 1947. 260 p. César Franck: L’homme et son oeuvre. Paris: Bernard

This biographical study of the composer is written in an accessible and engaging style and the author recounts the important and interesting parts of Franck’s life and career. The author reiterates some well-known anecdotes and but the contents lacks any detailed or analytical investigation of Franck’s music. Kunel freely quotes other materials, but unfortunately does not include any citations and consequently the reader does not know which exact primary sources were consulted. Clearly not intended for an academic audience, this monograph is nevertheless interesting and includes some valuable information, such as a detailed family tree extending back to the 16 th century and an extended bibliography. This book is a good introduction to the life and career of Franck.

Kennard, Lady D. A Roumanian Diary, 1915, 1916, 1917, London: Heinemann, 1917.

Begins with a desire to travel to Roumania in order to find out about life there in the city and in the country. When war is declared (1916), the author joins a Red Cross hospital. There are accounts of the pace of life, the routines of the local people, air raids, of plans to leave as the likelihood of a German invasion increases —and of the final, and very hurried, evacuation. Finishes with a great sense of pride in the country— ‘our little brother Roumania has grown into a man’
