Download or read book Taking Medicine written by Kristin Burnett and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunters, medicine men, and missionaries continue to dominate images and narratives of the West, even though historians have recognized women’s role as colonizer and colonized since the 1980s. Kristin Burnett helps to correct this imbalance by presenting colonial medicine as a gendered phenomenon. Although the imperial eye focused on medicine men, Aboriginal women in the Treaty 7 region served as healers and caregivers – to their own people and to settler society – until the advent of settler-run hospitals and nursing stations. By revealing Aboriginal and settler women’s contributions to health care, Taking Medicine challenges traditional understandings of colonial medicine in the contact zone.

An inventor has created a device that collapses fires, stops hurricanes from developing, and reduces explosions from bombs. The invention leads to rivalries, marital problems, kidnappings, and deaths. The wives and girlfriends of these men have strong personalities that color the mystery and add wit. Close relationships between the men, women, their children, and dogs play a prominent part as the mystery unfolds. A Greek tycoon, a defrocked priest, an exotic half-caste, a doctor, an Irishman, a cop, businessmen, beautiful and intelligent women and some oddballs round out the cast of characters. Action, murder, international intrigue, love, and man's best friend all contribute to the puzzle to be unraveled. These are fascinating and realistic people dealing with sudden wealth and dangerous jealousies due to a remarkable invention. We follow them through an exciting and intricate series of events over a four-year period as they sort out their relationships with good and bad people. With unexpected twists and turns, they finally solve the mysteries with the help of the cook's dog.

Download or read book Migrations written by Alexandra Barratt and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over two hundred items are catalogued in Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in New Zealand Collections (1989). Most are in institutional collections and were donated by late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century book collectors, notably Sir George Grey (1812–98), Governor and later Premier of New Zealand. Having been transported across the globe, the manuscripts have remained, for the most part, beyond the purview of northern hemisphere scholars. The contributors to this interdisciplinary collection of essays include international experts such as Christopher de Hamel, Richard Gameson, Margaret Manion and Michael Orr, curators of New Zealand manuscript collections, New Zealand academics, and a PhD student. Migrations has two main aims: to lodge the Early European manuscripts in New Zealand within the international discourse of postcolonial heritage; and to place them within the mainstream of manuscript studies by drawing attention to their intrinsic significance and their relationship with manuscripts held in overseas collections. Part One focuses on the motives and historical circumstances underlying the formation of the principal collections and the subsequent changes in the ways that this heritage has been regarded. Three of the essays centre upon the bibliophiles who donated their manuscripts to public libraries. Others consider specific manuscripts as indices of changing attitudes to European, particulary British, cultural heritage. National identity, pedagogy, and curatorial practices are among the issues canvassed. Part Two consists of new scholarly studies of particular manuscripts, which examine them in relation to the cultural and documentary context in which they were produced or transmitted. Manuscripts studied include: a twelfth-century copy of music treatises by Boethius and Guido of Arezzo, probably from Christ Church, Canterbury; a Perugian breviary owned by an Augustinian friar, Antonio da Macerata; a book of hours adapted for Scottish use (the Rossdhu Hours); and a fragment of an early fifteenth-century book of hours produced by a London workshop and added to the Hours of Margery Fitzherbert. “Migrations is an imaginative and ambitious contribution to twenty-first-century manuscript studies. Most notably, the editors have invited manuscript scholars to address the issues raised by the manuscripts' location: New Zealand itself and its colonial history become tools for thinking with - about dispersal, about cultural memory, about access, about the meanings ascribed to artefacts. The editors have assembled a distinguished group of scholars in order to produce a collection of essays that is a coherent whole and at the same time individually driven by the intellectual curiosity that is the true sign of distinction. The book is a triumph.” Professor Felicity Riddy, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Professor of English, University of York “This excellent book makes a major contribution to the study of medieval manuscript collections in New Zealand, and will open up a little known area of extremely important material to an international audience. The quality of the scholarship throughout the book is very high, and the essays on the individual manuscripts present the material in the context of recent new approaches in the study of medieval and Early Modern manuscripts.” Nigel Morgan, Hon. Professor of Art History, University of Cambridge, Head of Research, Parker Library MSS Project, Corpus Christi College

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infidelity's Fool, by author Mannie Magid, explores the peaks and valleys of a 34-year old marriage. Written from the perspective of a physician, this richly textured narrative treats the reader to a poignant and personal account of love, loss, and forgiveness. Len and Gertrude meet in 1971 and marry soon after. In their home town of Jacobsburg, Len goes to medical school and Gertrude enters college. Their lives fast track to success when Len becomes the Chief of Medical Staff in a prestigious hospital. Len's achievements shape his inflated ego, and he has an affair. Meanwhile, Gertrude is coming to grips with learning that she has breast cancer. After treatment, the two manage to save their marriage, but Len's infidelity comes back to haunt him when 34 years later he suspects that Gertrude is having an affair. Tragedy strikes again and Len and Gertrude learn just how important their marriage is and what they must face in order to rediscover what brought them together so many years ago. Magid's beautifully written story strikes at the core of human anguish, the grief of losing a loved one, and the regrets that plague the human spirit.
Download or read book We Band of Angels written by Elizabeth Norman and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1941, the Philippines was a gardenia-scented paradise for the American Army and Navy nurses stationed there. War was a distant rumor, life a routine of easy shifts and dinners under the stars. On December 8 all that changed, as Japanese bombs began raining down on American bases in Luzon, and this paradise became a fiery hell. Caught in the raging battle, the nurses set up field hospitals in the jungles of Bataan and the tunnels of Corregidor, where they tended to the most devastating injuries of war, and suffered the terrors of shells and shrapnel. But the worst was yet to come. After Bataan and Corregidor fell, the nurses were herded into internment camps where they would endure three years of fear, brutality, and starvation. Once liberated, they returned to an America that at first celebrated them, but later refused to honor their leaders with the medals they clearly deserved. Here, in letters, diaries, and riveting firsthand accounts, is the story of what really happened during those dark days, woven together in a deeply affecting saga of women in war. Praise for We Band of Angels “Gripping . . . a war story in which the main characters never kill one of the enemy, or even shoot at him, but are nevertheless heroes . . . Americans today should thank God we had such women.”—Stephen E. Ambrose “Remarkable and uplifting.”—USA Today “[Elizabeth M. Norman] brings a quiet, scholarly voice to this narrative. . . . In just a little over six months these women had turned from plucky young girls on a mild adventure to authentic heroes. . . . Every page of this history is fascinating.”—Carolyn See, The Washington Post “Riveting . . . poignant and powerful.”—The Dallas Morning News Winner of the Lavinia Dock Award for historical scholarship, the American Academy of Nursing National Media Award, and the Agnes Dillon Randolph Award
