Florence Nightingale to Her Nurses A selection from Miss Nightingale's addresses to probationers and nurses of the Nightingale school at St. Thomas's hospital【電子書籍】[ Florence Nightingale ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Florence Nightingale to Her Nurses," the pioneering nurse and social reformer Florence Nightingale offers a compelling and intimate view into the evolving role of nurses during the Victorian era. This collection of letters and writings not only highlights her innovative approach to nursing practices but also serves as a live commentary on the socio-political conditions of 19th-century healthcare. Nightingale's crisp, direct literary style, infused with persuasive rhetoric, calls her nurses to uphold standards of care and education, ultimately laying the groundwork for modern nursing. The text serves as both a practical manual and a passionate manifesto advocating for the recognition of nursing as a noble profession. As a trained statistician and the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale's insights come from her extensive on-the-ground experiences during the Crimean War, where she drastically improved unsanitary conditions in military hospitals. Her conviction for nursing reform and her commitment to evidence-based practice were driven by her personal encounters with suffering and systemic inefficiencies in healthcare. This essential read invites contemporary nurses, historians, and healthcare professionals to appreciate the rich legacy of nursing through Nightingale's eyes. It encourages modern practitioners to reflect on the ethical dimensions of their profession while celebrating the foundation upon which they stand.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>In "Florence Nightingale to Her Nurses," the pioneering figure of modern nursing distills her revolutionary approach and philosophy of healthcare into a series of poignant letters and guidelines directed at her fellow caregivers. The text is imbued with Nightingale's characteristic clarity and fervor, employing a mix of passionate narrative and practical advice that resonates with the urgent, moral imperatives of her time. Set against the backdrop of the Victorian era, when medical practices were on the cusp of modernization, this work serves as both a historical document and a manual for ethical nursing practice, emphasizing compassion, diligence, and the paramount importance of patient care. Florence Nightingale, often heralded as the founder of modern nursing, was not only a dedicated nurse but also a formidable statistician and social reformer. Her experiences during the Crimean War, where she famously improved the unsanitary conditions of military hospitals, fundamentally shaped her views on nursing and public health. Nightingale's advocacy for better healthcare practices and her reflections on the psychological and emotional demands of nursing were rooted in her commitment to both human rights and medical ethics. This essential text is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of nursing and healthcare, as it encapsulates Nightingale's innovative thinking and unwavering dedication. Readers will find invaluable insights into the profession's foundations as well as a profound understanding of the role of compassion in patient care, making this work not only historically significant but also timelessly relevant.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Nightingales of Troy【電子書籍】[ Alice Fulton ]

<p><strong>"Outstanding....Alice Fulton reveals herself to be triumphantly at home in the short story."ー <em>Boston Sunday Globe</em></strong></p> <p>In 1908, Mamie Garrahan faces childbirth aided by her arsenic-eating sister-in-law Kitty, a nun who grows opium poppies, and a doctor who prescribes Bayer Heroin. "In the twentieth century, I believe there are no saints left," Mamie remarks. But her daughters and granddaughter test this notion with far-reaching consequences. Kitty's arsenic reappears sixty years later in the hands of her distraught niece. A schoolgirl's passion for the Beatles and Melvilleーa passion both lonely and funnyーshapes her life. Each decade is illuminated by endearingly eccentric characters: an anorexic waitress falls for a wealthy college boy in the jazz age...an exuberant young nurse questions science during the Depression...a homely seamstress designs a scandalous dress in the 1950s. <em>The Nightingales of Troy</em>, the first fiction collection by an acclaimed American poet, creates a vividly palpable sense of time and place. Alice Fulton's memorable characters confront the deepest dilemmas with bravery and abiding love.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Watch of Nightingales【電子書籍】[ Liza Wieland ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A modest, quiet woman, Mara Raynor never dreamed she'd one day find herself in charge of the small private school in Washington, D.C., where for many years she taught music and choir. But after the unexpected death of her husband, the school's headmaster, Mara finds herself thrust into the public eye, burdened not just with the responsibilities of acting headmaster---a role she never wanted---but also with a potentially explosive political and religious controversy that tests parents' and school administrators' spirit of tolerance.</p> <p>When a Sikh student is caught wearing a ceremonial knife on school grounds, fear spreads among parents and the school board. Coming at the same moment as the disappearance of Mara's teenage daughter, the controversy quickly assumes a far more personal nature. Not just any student, the Sikh boy is both the son of a woman with whom Mara shares a complicated past and---as Mara soon discovers---her own daughter's boyfriend.</p> <p>As it moves back and forth in time between the school in contemporary Washington and a girls' boarding school in the British countryside in 1977, <em>A Watch of Nightingales</em> weaves a rich and textured exploration of fear and remorse, the mysteries of love, and the complicated tensions that ring down the generations from parent to child.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

When Nightingales Sang【電子書籍】[ Harriet Hudson ]

Every day for two years she had lived with the bitter disappointment, spending her time as a teacher in a small Kentish village, trying to keep her impossible mother from interfering in her life.</p> <p>Then came war, and Kent was in the front line. And just as the Battle of Britain was about to begin, two momentous events occurred: Jessica discovered the truth of what had happened two years previously, and she met John Gales, Spitfire fighter pilot.</p> <p>At first, Jessica saw John as a means to an end: through him she could sing with the squadron band, and through him she would meet the American pilot Will Donaldson, gifted clarinetist and inspired song-writer. Will had plans for their future. But, possessively, John extracted a promise from Jessica - to sing for no one but him - that would have far-reaching ramifications when tragedy struck, and would bedevil Jessica's path to fulfilment and happiness.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

She describes how over 60,000 army nurses, all volunteers, cared for sick and wounded American soldiers in every theater of the war, serving in the jungles of the Southwest Pacific, the frozen reaches of Alaska and Iceland, the mud of Italy and northern Europe, or the heat and dust of the Middle East. Many of the women in the Army Nurse Corps served in dangerous hospitals near the front lines -- 201 nurses were killed by accident or enemy action, and another 1,600 won decorations for meritorious service. These nurses address the extreme difficulties of dealing with combat and its effects in World War II, and their stories are all the more valuable to women's and military historians because they tell of the war from a very different viewpoint than that of male officers. Although they were unable to achieve full equality for American women in the military during World War II, army nurses did secure equal pay allowances and full military rank, and they proved beyond a doubt their ability and willingness to serve and maintain excellent standards of nursing care under difficult and often dangerous conditions.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Parrots and Nightingales Troubadour Quotations and the Development of European Poetry【電子書籍】[ Sarah Kay ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The love songs of Occitan troubadours inspired a rich body of courtly lyric by poets working in neighboring languages. For Sarah Kay, these poets were nightingales, composing verse that is recognizable yet original. But troubadour poetry also circulated across Europe in a form that is less well known but was more transformative. Writers outside Occitania quoted troubadour songs word for word in their original language, then commented upon these excerpts as linguistic or poetic examples, as guides to conduct, and even as sources of theological insight. If troubadours and their poetic imitators were nightingales, these quotation artists were parrots, and their practices of excerption and repetition brought about changes in poetic subjectivity that would deeply affect the European canon.</p> <p>The first sustained study of the medieval tradition of troubadour quotation, <em>Parrots and Nightingales</em> examines texts produced along the arc of the northern Mediterraneanーfrom Catalonia through southern France to northern Italyーthrough the thirteenth century and the first half of the fourteenth. Featuring extensive appendices of over a thousand troubadour passages that have been quoted or anthologized, <em>Parrots and Nightingales</em> traces how quotations influenced the works of grammarians, short story writers, biographers, encyclopedists, and not least, other poets including Dante and Petrarch. Kay explores the instability and fluidity of medieval textuality, revealing how the art of quotation affected the transmission of knowledge and transformed perceptions of desire from the "courtly love" of the Middle Ages to the more learned formulations that emerged in the Renaissance. <em>Parrots and Nightingales</em> deftly restores the medieval tradition of lyric quotation to visibility, persuasively arguing for its originality and influence as a literary strategy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Not About Nightingales【電子書籍】[ Tennessee Williams ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>This early full-length play put a young Tennessee Williams' passion for social justice in the spotlight. "Haunting, searing, unforgettable" ーLondon <em>Herald</em></strong></p> <p>In early 1998, sixty years after it was written, one of Tennessee Williams' first full-length plays, <em>Not About Nightingales</em>, was premiered by Britain's Royal National Theatre and was immediately hailed as "one of the most remarkable theatrical discoveries of the last quarter century (<em>London Evening Standard</em>). Brought to the attention of the director Trevor Nunn by the actress Vanessa Redgrave (who has contributed a Foreword to this edition), "this early work...changed our perception of a major writer and still packs a hefty political punch" (<em>London Independent</em>). Written in 1938 and based on an actual newspaper story, the play follows the events of a prison atrocity which shocked the nation: convicts leading a hunger strike in a Pennsylvania prison were locked in a steam-heated cell and roasted to death. Williams later said: "I have never written anything since that could compete with it in violence and horror." Its sympathetic treatment of black and homosexual characters may have kept the play unproduced in its own time. But its flashes of lyricism and compelling dialogue presage the great plays Williams has yet to write. <em>Not About Nightingales</em> shows us the young playwright (for the first time using his signature "Tennessee") as a political writer, passionate about social injustice, and reflecting the plight of outcasts in Depression America. The stylistic influences of European Expressionism, radical American theatre of the 1930s, and popular film make it unique among the group of four early plays. <em>Not About Nightingales</em> has been edited by eminent Williams scholar Allean Hale, who has also provided an illuminating historical introduction.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Nightingales in Berlin Searching for the Perfect Sound【電子書籍】[ David Rothenberg ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A celebrated figure in myth, song, and story, the nightingale has captivated the imagination for millennia, its complex song evoking a prism of human emotions,ーfrom melancholy to joy, from the fear of death to the immortality of art.<br /> But have you ever listened closely to a nightingale's song? It's a strange and unsettling sort of compositionーan eclectic assortment of chirps, whirs, trills, clicks, whistles, twitters, and gurgles. At times it is mellifluous, at others downright guttural. It is a rhythmic assault, always eluding capture. What happens if you decide to join in?<br /> As philosopher and musician David Rothenberg shows in this searching and personal new book, the nightingale's song is so peculiar in part because it reflects our own cacophony back at us. As vocal learners, nightingales acquire their music through the world around them, singing amidst the sounds of humanity in all its contradictions of noise and beauty, hard machinery and soft melody. Rather than try to capture a sound not made for us to understand, Rothenberg seeks these musical creatures out, clarinet in tow, and makes a new sound <em>with</em> them. He takes us to the urban landscape of Berlinーlongtime home to nightingale colonies where the birds sing ever louder in order to be heardーand invites us to listen in on their remarkable collaboration as birds and instruments riff off of each other's sounds. Through dialogue, travel records, sonograms, tours of Berlin's city parks, and musings on the place animal music occupies in our collective imagination, Rothenberg takes us on a quest for a new sonic alchemy, a music impossible for any one species to make alone. In the tradition of <em>The Hidden Life of Trees</em> and <em>The Invention of Nature</em>, Rothenberg has written a provocative and accessible book to attune us ever closer to the natural environment around us.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
