Synopsis

Footprints In Sand explores the fascinating world of ichnology, revealing how footprints and trackways offer unique insights into Earth's history, ancient ecosystems, and human migration. Trace fossils, often overlooked, provide a dynamic archive, showcasing animal behavior and ecological interactions, unlike static skeletal remains. For example, the book examines how analyzing dinosaur trackways helps us understand their locomotion and herding behavior. The book investigates reconstructing ancient ecosystems and understanding early hominin evolution. By analyzing significant footprint sites, such as Laetoli, we can unravel mysteries of bipedalism and migratory routes. The book also discusses how footprints contribute to our understanding of paleoclimate and geological changes, as footprint preservation links to specific environmental conditions. The book begins with an introduction to ichnology's basic principles, then progresses through case studies, blending geology, paleontology, archaeology, and anthropology. It emphasizes the value of footprints in understanding the past and informing future decisions, inviting readers on a journey through time.

    An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. 
     
    Nurses represent the largest segment of the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr. Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. 
     
    Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.

    This book contains these topics: 
    - The Hindsight Bias: Hindsight bias, often referred to as the "knew-it-all-along" effect, is the cognitive phenomenon in which people perceive past events as having been more predictable than they actually were. After an event has occurred, individuals tend to believe they foresaw the outcome, even though there was no reasonable way to predict it at the time. This bias can distort our memories, judgments, and perceptions, leading us to think that we knew the outcome of a situation from the very beginning, even though the reality is quite different. 
    - The Mere Exposure Effect: The Mere Exposure Effect is a psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to an increased preference for that stimulus. This effect occurs without any active engagement or deep processing from the individual. Simply put, the more we encounter something, the more likely we are to develop a liking for it, even if we don’t consciously realize why. This effect can apply to a wide range of stimuli, from people and objects to sounds, images, and even ideas. The central principle behind this concept is that familiarity breeds fondness.

    ‘The most life-affirming book ever written about death.’ Sandi Toksvig‘One of the most powerful and helpful books about grief that you will ever read.’ Anita Anand 
    ‘Grief is more than the price of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to make it welcome.’ 
    Mother and daughter Anne Mayer Bird and Catherine Mayer were widowed within 41 days of each other on the eve of the pandemic, then locked down alone. Their profound isolation was broken just once a week, when Catherine visited Anne to care for her, at distance and in a mask. Together they found ways to navigate their loss and the startling questions and challenges that confronted them. 
    In this memoir, Catherine also investigates the possibility that her husband, renowned musician Andy Gill, contracted Covid-19 when his band, Gang of Four, toured China in late 2019. Her main focus, however, is not on death, but on life and love. This is a captivating account of lives well lived, moving and spiked with black humour. It is interwoven with letters Anne wrote to her husband John to tell him of the astonishing and heartrending events since his death and her small triumphs in living independently. 
    In sharing their insights and experiences, Catherine and Anne aim to help those who have lost or will lose people or who wish to know how best to support others in such circumstances. They also celebrate love—for John and Andy and each other. 
    ‘We are extraordinarily lucky, my mother and I. We have each other and we have this room. 
    ‘In this living room, we are learning to embrace the things we can’t touch, each other and the lovely dead.’ 
    Catherine Mayer's Good Grief is a top-rated autobiography that explores the psychology of grief and bereavement. It is a profound exploration of relationships, marriage, and family, providing a long-term perspective on dealing with loss. 
    For fans of Angela Levin (Harry), Robert Jobson (Diana), Rachel Clarke (Your Life In My Hands), Richard Coles (The Madness of Grief), and Donna Ashworth (Loss).
