A Guide to Hospitals and Nursing - A Collection of Writings and Excerpts: With

Description: Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was an English social reformer, statistician, and pioneer of modern nursing. She became famous during the time she served as manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, giving nursing a positive reputation and becoming a Victorian culture icon. Also known as "The Lady with the Lamp", she was an accomplished writer who produced a large corpus of work related to medical knowledge. A great example of such writing is "Guide To Hospitals And Nursing", within which Nightingale outlines some key principles of nursing with a particular focus on nursing for the poor and underprivileged. Highly recommended for those with an interest in the history and development of nursing and not to be missed by the discerning collector. Contents include: "Florence Nightingale, By Lytton Strachey", "Suggestions On A System Of Nursing For Hospitals In India", "Trained Nursing For The Sick Poor", "Workhouse Nursing - The Story Of A Successful Experiment", "Amy Sanitary Administration, and Its Reform Under The Late Lord Herbert", "Health Teaching In Towns And Villages. Rural Hygiene", etc. Other notable works by this author include: "Notes on Nursing: What Nursing Is, What Nursing is Not" (1859), "Suggestions for Thought" (1860), and "Una and the Lion" (1871).This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter by Lytton Strachey.
