Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not
ISBN: 9781934451830 / Angielski / Twarda / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Neither in my own nursing education at the B.S.N. nor at the M.S.N. level, was it even suggested, much less required, that I read any of Florence Nightingales original writings. Even as a nurse educator for over 30 years, I did not require my students to read her writings. After reading this book, I now believe it is a void in the education of a nurse not to read at least some of the writings of the founder of modern day nursing. Notes on Nursing would be an excellent choice.

ISBN: 9789004099074 / Francuski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Diocles of Carystus. Volume One, Text and Translation: A Collection of the Fragments with Translation and Commentary

The Art Is Long: On the Sacred Disease and the Scientific Tradition
ISBN: 9789004121522 / Angielski / Twarda / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume examines the fifth-century medical treatise, On the Sacred Disease, as a sophistic speech, and considers its position within the scientific tradition. The first part concerns conceptions of science, magic, and medicine; and establishes the antiquity of medicine as a specialized skill. The latter part analyzes the treatise in light of sophistic oratory, and explores its reception of traditional beliefs. This analysis shows that traditional beliefs, competition, and rhetoric contributed to the intellectual tradition of science. Traditional views are shown to have influenced...

The Quick and the Dead: Biomedical Theory in Ancient Egypt
ISBN: 9789004123915 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume uses a cross-disciplinary approach to examine the origins of ancient Egyptian medicine in the domestication, care and sacrifice of cattle. Ritual cattle sacrifice in Egypt led to a rudimentary understanding of animal anatomy and physiology, which was then applied to humans. Two original theories developed from this comparative medicine: Life as movement, especially seen in the fasciolations of excised limbs, and the male's role in reproduction. Discussions include Egypt as a cattle culture, the ka as an animating force, "living flesh," the possible animal origins of the...
